Can You File a Personal Injury Claim for Your Motorcycle Accident?

You may already know that if you’re involved in an auto accident, you may be able to file a personal injury claim. But is the same true for motorcycle accidents? Charleston motorcycle accident lawyer Cristin Uricchio has extensive experience with cases like these. Generally speaking, if the following circumstances occur in a motorcycle accident, you may not qualify for a personal injury claim:

  • Breaking the law – If your accident occurred because you broke the law, your case probably won’t qualify for a personal injury claim.
  • No other parties involved – If there’s no one to make a case against, then there cannot be a claim. Riders who receive injuries from self-induced accidents cannot file a personal injury claim.
  • Forces of nature – You cannot make a personal injury case against wildlife, weather, or other so-called “acts of God.”
  • Tire failures – Tire-related claims can be tricky. That’s because tires have strict design guidelines and mounting requirements. Our team can investigate to determine if there was a manufacturing defect or to prove that a mechanic failed to mount your tire as required.

If you believe your motorcycle accident qualifies for a personal injury claim, call Uricchio Law Firm. As an experienced Charleston motorcycle accident lawyer, Cristin Uricchio will work tirelessly to get you the compensation you deserve.
