Fairfield County Lawyers for Clients Hurt in a Motorcycle Crash

For many, there is nothing more enjoyable than going for a long motorcycle ride through the New England countryside. While riding a motorcycle can be a liberating and exciting mode of transportation, it is not without its risks. Motorcycles are dwarfed by larger cars and trucks, making traffic accidents between a motorcycle and another vehicle extremely dangerous. Motorcyclists can easily be hurt or killed in an accident, even if they are following traffic laws and driving as safely as possible. In fact, studies show that a motorcycle rider is five times more likely to be injured and almost 30 times more likely to die in a traffic accident than motorists in an enclosed vehicle. Ivey, Barnum & O'Mara, LLC offers aggressive legal representation for those who have been hurt in a motorcycle accident. We will work diligently to get you the compensation you need after a serious motorcycle wreck.

Protecting Your Rights in White Plains, NY

A life-changing motorcycle accident can happen in the blink of an eye. The most common causes of motorcycle accidents include:

• Drunk drivers: Drivers under the influence of alcohol or drugs can make reckless decisions which put motorcyclists' lives in danger.
• Distracted drivers: Texting while driving and other distractions can cause motorists to be dangerously unaware of a nearby motorcycle.
• Traffic law violations: Speeding, illegal lane changes, sudden stops, and other traffic violations can result in devastating motorcycle accidents.
• Car doors: Some motorcycle accident injuries occur when a parked driver opens his or her car door in the path of an oncoming motorcycle.
• Hazardous road conditions: Potholes, obstacles in the road, loose debris, weather conditions, and other hazards increase a motorcyclist's chances of being involved in a serious wreck.
• Defective motorcycles or motorcycle parts: When a faulty motorcycle or defective motorcycle part cause a motorcyclist to be injured or killed, the manufacturer, distributor, or designer of the defective product can be held liable for damages.
