The exhilaration and thrill of riding a motorcycle on the open road, especially in the warmer months, is immeasurable. Unfortunately, this joy can come to an abrupt and sad halt due to careless, drunk, aggressive, and negligent driving. The number of motorcyclists who incur injuries, including fatal ones, is exceedingly high compared to drivers and passengers in car accidents.
NM Legal services understands the pain and suffering that accompanies an injury caused by another party’s negligence. We help accident victims fight liable parties and involved insurance companies for monetary compensation, so that the injured individuals can cover their medical bills, lost wages, and other damages. Even though no amount of compensation can take away the pain and trauma, it will help you and your family get your lives back on track.
Motorcyclists are more exposed to potential dangers on the road than persons in traditional vehicles because of the lack of standard protection features found in traditional vehicles, such as airbags and safety belts. Therefore, when accidents happen, even the most defensive riders end often up suffering devastating injuries or worse. The majority of motorcycle accidents are caused by other motorists, including careless and impaired drivers.
Unfortunately, when riders file for compensation after an accident, they are unfairly categorized by some insurance companies and their adjusters as “more careless” than other vehicle operators. This is where an experienced and knowledgeable litigation attorney plays a vital role in protecting your rights and fighting for what you deserve.

Given that motorcycles account for only about 2-3% of all the motor vehicles on Canadian roads, it’s troubling that riders are 15 more times likely to be in a crash and 13.5 times likely to die in a traffic collision compared to car drivers. The high likelihood of motorcyclists suffering fatalities and severe injuries is expected given the relative physical instability of motorcycles and lack of protective enclosures, which cars have.
But what causes motorcycle accidents? Well, there are various reasons, a small percentage of which, similar to other groups of motorists, result from poor riding skills and negligent riders. However, the highest number of motorcycle accidents is caused by other factors.
Poorly engineered and maintained roads and motorist streets are a notable cause of motorcycle accidents. Potholes and icy roads can lead to devastating accidents, causing injuries and fatalities to riders. For injuries resulting from harmful roadways, one can file a claim against the contractors or those charged with ensuring that the roads are safe for use by motorists.
If a driver changes lanes in an ill-advised manner, they can hit the rear or front part of a motorcycle or suddenly cut off a motorcyclist, leading to an accident. Unsafe lane changes are among the leading cause of high-speed motorcycle accidents, which often lead to catastrophic injuries and instant fatalities.
In some cases, motorcycle accidents can result from defective motorcycle parts. Whether the defect is design or production-related, the party responsible and their distributors can be held liable for any injuries incurred during the accident. Also, if your protective gear fails to provide protection as it should under those specific conditions and circumstances, one can sue the makers and suppliers for compensation if they sustain an injury.
Reckless driving, speeding, making sudden stops, failing to adhere to traffic rules, and driving under the influence can lead to catastrophic accidents, especially when a motorcycle is involved. Motorcycle accidents that result from reckless driving or impaired driving may trigger criminal charges and civil injury claims for any injuries and damages incurred by victims.
The above are just a few of the many causes of motorcycle accidents in Canada. The fact is, while riding delivers an irrefutable thrill, motorcyclists face immense dangers every time they hit the road.
