Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in Vancouver

Motorcycle accidents in Vancouver, Washington, are caused by various factors. However, the most common cause of motorcycle accidents is other motorists. Due to their smaller profile, many car drivers and other motor vehicle drivers simply do not see motorcyclists on the road. As such, they may turn left in front of a motorcyclist or rear-end them at a stop light.

When other motorists are engaged in poor-driving behaviors, the likelihood of missing a motorcycle on the road increases. As a result, many motorcycle accidents are caused by other drivers who are speeding, drunk driving, and driving distracted.

Weather conditions can also play a role in motorcycle accidents. Vancouver, Washington, sees an average of 150 days of rain per year. Rainy conditions make it harder for other motorists to see motorcyclists on the road. It also makes braking and turning on the road more difficult. This can lead to deadly motorcycle crashes.

Filing a Motorcycle Accident Claim in Vancouver

Motorcyclists often face an uphill battle when trying to collect the compensation they need — and deserve. Insurance companies and adjusters often have strong, unfounded biases against motorcyclists. Many view them as reckless risk-takers. This bias often results in insurance adjusters pinning some — or all — the blame on the biker. They do this to reduce their claim and to pay out as little as possible.

For this reason alone, injured bikers may need a law firm on their side that can stand up to insurance companies and fight for fair compensation. At Schauermann Thayer, we work with medical teams and experts to determine the full scope of injury and damages. We then use this to present a personal injury case in a way that protects our client’s rights.

Our Vancouver motorcycle accident lawyers can help you explore all your legal options. When building injury cases for injured motorcyclists, we work to collect compensation for all of your damages, including:

• Medical expenses;
• Lost wages;
• Loss of future earnings;
• Pain and suffering;
• Emotional distress; and
• Property damages.
