Motorcyclists face unique risks on the road, and filing an injury or insurance claim after a motorcycle accident can bring unique challenges. Legal guidance from a skilled attorney is essential when filing Denton motorcycle accident claims.
Who Is Liable for a Motorcycle Crash in Denton?
Any person that is negligent—if their negligence causes the wreck or is a cause of the wreck—is subject to being held liable in a motorcycle wreck case in Denton. That can include the other driver, though sometimes, it can also include the driver’s employer if they are working in the course and scope of employment for the company. When dealing with commercial drivers, direct liability claims can be made against the owners and operators of these companies for not following the safety regulations that state and federal law requires them to. For example, if a motorcyclist is in an accident with an 18-wheeler, a proactive attorney will investigate to determine whether the truck driver was driving too many hours or driving while fatigued or intoxicated. If so, the trucker and their employer could be held liable for all of an injured person’s losses.
