In the United States, motorcycle fatalities happen at a rate that is 28 times higher than other vehicles. That is a big problem in California, which already has one of the highest annual accidental death rates in the country. Our Los Angeles fatal motorcycle accident lawyer knows just how dangerous it can be for a person on a motorcycle when he or she is involved in a very collision on an interstate, freeway, or other highway.
Not only are the victims hurt, but the entire family. Those who die in motorcycle accidents leave behind loved ones who are left with the fallout from the tragedy which can result in both financial and emotional losses. These family members may bring a wrongful death claim against the at-fault party if negligence can be proven.
Any accident where the victim would still be alive were it not for the negligent behavior of another party may be considered in a wrongful death claim. The other party may be an individual whose negligence caused the accident, the manufacturer of a vehicle, a municipality in cases of negligent road maintenance, or even a medical doctor in the case of medical malpractice.
If another party is responsible for the death of that loved one, specific family members can file a civil suit to collect financial compensation for losses connected with the death.
Therefore, where an individual causes personal injury in a negligent manner, including violating California vehicle code, that individual may be liable if an innocent person was wrongfully killed due to the negligent conduct. This includes when a defendant drives drunk, runs a red light or stop sign, texts while driving, speeds, following too closely, or otherwise causes a serious accident.
When a family member has died in a motorcycle accident as the result of another’s negligence, you may be entitled to bring a wrongful death claim against that negligent party.
