Motorcycle Accidents in Connecticut
Motorcycle crashes are among the most devastating traffic incidents in Connecticut. With little protection against impact, riders are at a much higher risk of suffering catastrophic injuries such as broken bones, spinal cord damage, or traumatic brain injuries.
These crashes happen for many reasons, but some of the most frequent causes include:
- Driver Inattention: Distracted drivers often fail to see motorcyclists until it’s too late.
- Failure to Yield: Vehicles turning left frequently misjudge a motorcycle’s speed and distance.
- Speeding: High speeds reduce reaction time and increase the severity of injuries.
- Unsafe Lane Changes: Drivers who fail to check their blind spots can collide with riders.
The aftermath of a motorcycle accident is often overwhelming. Victims face long recoveries, mounting medical bills, lost wages, and emotional distress. Connecticut law allows injured riders to pursue compensation for these losses. However, insurance companies often attempt to minimize payouts.
A skilled motorcycle accident lawyer can investigate the crash, gather crucial evidence, and negotiate for the full compensation you deserve.
