What Causes Motorcycle Lay Down Accidents?

There are many scenarios where motorcycle riders are forced to make a life-or-death decision without hesitation. This may occur because you were cut off by another driver or suddenly encountered a dangerous road hazard, like a large piece of equipment left behind by a work crew.

A motorcycle rider has the same rights as every other driver, and no one should enter your lane without warning. The following situations can put a rider in a situation where laying down your bike is a reasonable way to reduce the threat of suffering severe injuries:

  • A driver makes a lane change or merges without signaling
  • A driver suddenly pulls into traffic from a parking lot or driveway
  • A pile-up causes a halt in the traffic flow
  • A driver ignores a traffic signal
  • An unavoidable object was left in the roadway
  • A driver making a left turn pulls in front of you
  • A driver runs a stop sign
  • When the alternative to laying your bike down is going over a cliff

Who Is Liable for Motorcycle Lay Down Accident Injuries?

Negligence is a legal term that means “failure to exercise reasonable care.” Your motorcycle accident lawyer will collect information to demonstrate that you made the most practical decision in response to another party’s negligent actions, including police reports, accident scene photos, medical records, surveillance camera video, dashcam video, and witness interviews.

After the investigation is complete, your motorcycle accident lawyer will file a claim or lawsuit against anyone whose negligence contributed to your injuries. This may include:
