Motorcycle Accidents

Include the reality that, unlike individuals in cars and trucks, riders aren’t protected by a metal shell, and you have a formula for catastrophe. If you have been part of a vehicle accident involving a motorcycle, you will require the guidance AZ Legal Injury Attorneys will offer you.In 2018, 8.02% of American households owned or operated motorcycles.6 Although motorcycles account for only 0.6% of all motor vehicle miles traveled, riders result in 14% of all traffic fatalities (4,985 in 2018)8 and 17% of all occupant (driver and passenger) fatalities, and while 20% of passenger vehicle crashes lead to personal injury or dying, 80% of motorcycle accidents bring about personal injury or loss of life.37 percent of motorcyclist deaths in 2018 happened in lone-vehicle accidents, and 63 percent occurred in multiple-vehicle accidents.9Motorcycles can be perilous; especially in the city. But why? Could it be because motorcycles are hard to see and may be more easily clipped by a vehicle changing lanes? Could it be that riders are more inclined to lose control of a two-wheel vehicle than car or truck drivers are to lose control of a 4 wheel vehicle?No matter what the answer may be - and it is very likely a combination of factors - motorcycle accidents occur, and whenever they do the results are often tragic.

Not all slip and fall accidents are attributable to others, but if the person responsible Knows – or should have known – that a Dangerous Condition or situation existed, and they failed to repair, protect against, or give reasonable warning of the problem, they may be held liable.Even though all slips, trips, and falls are not deadly, they led to 791 fatalities in 2018,5 and it doesn't matter if you are seriously wounded or not, the legal professionals at AZ Legal Injury Attorneys can assist you to win any money you are owed because of the negligence of other people.
Dog bites
California Civil Code section 3342 says that the dog owners in California are responsible for the actions of their pets. They are responsible for any damages caused by their pets provided the victim did not provoke the animal, and the person was bitten while in public or legally on private property. (13)As a result, you can file a civil legal action against the owner of a dog who bites someone, even if the dog has never injured anyone before. If you’ve been injured by a dog, don’t get bitten by the court system as well: call AZ Legal Injury Attorneys immediately.
Wrongful Death
Wrongful death results if a person or entity does (or neglects to do) something that results in someone's death.Negligence, malice, product liability, and/or premises liability can all be contributing facets to a wrongful death, and you deserve to be paid if something or someone triggered or resulted in the loss of life.There are two primary causes in a wrongful death legal action:
- NEGLIGENCE. If the death was a result of the negligence of a different party, there must be appropriate substantiation of that negligence. We must illustrate that the responsible entity had a certain duty to the victim, they breached that duty, the breach led to the trauma or injuries that brought about the loss of life, and the death led to losses to you and other claimants.
- INTENTIONAL HARM. Quite a few wrongful deaths are the result of deliberate physical violence. In this case we must exhibit that the person possessed the plan to proceed with the act, the accused engaged in 'non-consensual contact' with the victim (this can include striking a person with a car or using a weapon), and the contact was the cause of the death.
The death of somebody you care about is distressing enough without the further financial burden that can go along with the loss.
