Motorcycle Accidents in Connecticut
Motorcycle accidents are among the most dangerous collisions on Connecticut roads. Unlike drivers in passenger cars, motorcyclists have very little protection during an impact. Even when wearing helmets and protective gear, riders can suffer catastrophic injuries in a single moment.
Each year, Connecticut sees hundreds of motorcycle crashes, many of which result in severe or fatal outcomes. Common contributing factors include:
- Drivers failing to yield when turning at intersections
- Distracted driving, such as texting or adjusting devices
- Impaired driving due to alcohol or drugs
- Excessive speed and reckless behavior by other motorists
The consequences of these crashes are often devastating. Victims may require multiple surgeries, extensive rehabilitation, and long-term medical care. Families are often left struggling with financial strain, emotional trauma, and uncertainty about the future.
Connecticut law allows victims of negligent drivers to seek compensation for their losses. This may include coverage for hospital stays, rehabilitation, lost income, and pain and suffering.
However, insurance companies often try to minimize or deny claims, leaving victims without the support they deserve. That’s why having an experienced motorcycle accident lawyer in Connecticut is so important. A skilled attorney can investigate the crash, gather evidence, and hold negligent drivers accountable.
