There are many reasons why you should, as a motorcycle rider, take specific precautions to protect your safety while riding your bike throughout the state. Taking precautions can not only keep you from getting into a Connecticut motorcycle accident but they can also protect other drivers on the road from damage or injury. It is not only the safe thing to do, it is the right thing to do to keep you and your community safe.
The reality of this is that all the safety precautions you take may not be enough to keep from becoming involved in an accident. There are, of course, external factors beyond your driving habits and safety tactics that you could interact with while riding your bike that may cause you to be put in a precarious situation. You should be on the lookout for these groups, but you should also know that some of these things may be out of your control and therefore you should take note if one of these groups are involved in an accident that involves you.
-
Motorcycle manufacturer: You may not be able to immediately see that the actions of the manufacturer of your bike could have any responsibility in an injury you’ve sustained in an accident, but an experienced attorney can work with you to look into any and all factors that may have resulted in the accident.
-
The government: Thinking about getting into an accident you may think of the government as helping you get through it as the police and fire departments will respond to your accident and take care of your needs on the site of the accident. However, there are government actions that are taken or in some cases, not taken that could cause you to get into an accident like not caring for potholes or leaving patches of sand from winter road treatments on the road that may contribute to your accident.
-
Careless or distracted drivers: This group of people might be the most obvious that have the potential to be involved in your accident. If someone is behind the wheel of a car or another motorcycle and is driving recklessly or is distracted, they may have some responsibility in an accident that occurs with you. This is a group that an experienced attorney will be able to identify as part of your case.
