Hit and Run Motorcycle Accident

Hit and run motorcycle accidents leave victims dealing with severe injuries, uncertainty, and the challenge of pursuing justice against drivers who flee the scene. At Breit Biniazan, we understand the devastating impact these incidents have on motorcyclists and their families. Our motorcycle accident attorneys are dedicated to helping victims fight for the compensation they deserve, providing both experienced legal guidance and support.

Motorcyclists are uniquely vulnerable on the road, often suffering the most severe consequences in a crash. In fact, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), motorcyclists are nearly 29 times more likely than passenger vehicle occupants to die in a traffic crash per vehicle mile traveled. When a negligent driver abandons the scene, the road to recovery becomes even more challenging. That’s where Breit Biniazan comes in—to hold negligent parties accountable and ensure that victims are not left to shoulder the burden alone.

NHTSA data show that this is the highest number of motorcyclists killed since at least 1975.In a notable case handled by Breit Biniazan, we secured $1.45 million for a motorcyclist who suffered devastating brain damage when a rental car driver changed lanes improperly. This case is a testament to the impact skilled legal representation can have on the outcome of such incidents.

Common Causes of Hit and Run Motorcycle Accidents

Hit and run motorcycle accidents can occur for many reasons, often tied to negligent or reckless behavior by drivers. Some common causes include:

Distracted Driving: Drivers failing to pay attention to their surroundings, often due to texting or other distractions.

Driving Under the Influence: Impaired drivers are more likely to flee the scene to avoid legal consequences.

Blind Spot Errors: Motorcycles are smaller and harder to see, making them vulnerable to drivers who fail to check their blind spots.

Fear of Consequences: Drivers often flee out of panic or fear of legal and financial repercussions.

These causes highlight the importance of thorough investigations and holding negligent drivers accountable.

Legal Rights After a Hit and Run Motorcycle Accident

Victims of hit and run motorcycle accidents have legal rights that can help them pursue compensation for their losses. Key aspects include:

• Uninsured Motorist Coverage: Many insurance policies include coverage for accidents involving unidentified drivers, providing an avenue for compensation.
• Police Reports and Investigations: Law enforcement efforts and evidence collection are vital for identifying at-fault parties.
• Victim Compensation Funds: In some cases, state programs can offer financial support to victims of hit and run accidents.

Our attorneys are well-versed in navigating these options, ensuring victims receive the compensation they’re entitled to.
