Understanding Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents often result from various factors, including negligent drivers, hazardous road conditions, or defective motorcycle parts. The injuries sustained can be particularly severe due to the lack of protection offered by motorcycles compared to cars. Common injuries in motorcycle accidents include:

• Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): Concussions and other brain injuries can occur even with a helmet on, leading to long-term cognitive issues.

• Spinal Cord Injuries: Injuries to the spine can result in paralysis or other debilitating conditions.

• Fractures and Broken Bones: Legs, arms, and ribs are commonly fractured in motorcycle accidents due to the impact.

• Road Rash: Skin abrasions caused by sliding across the pavement can result in serious infections and scarring.

What Causes Motorcycle Accidents?

In Connecticut, motorcycle accidents can involve any of the following forms of negligence¹:

• Motorist negligence: This comes in various forms, and it can involve drivers, passengers, and even children. Playing heavily into these cases is the fact that drivers often have limited (if any) experience riding motorcycles – and that some drivers just don't like sharing the road with bikers. In some instances, the at-fault driver will even blame the motorcyclist for a crash, because many just assume motorcycles are too hard to handle and their operators are too lazy. When that happens, fighting back with the truth is important – and having an attorney on your side is integral in countering allegations to ensure you stay on track to financial recovery.
• Product liability: When crashes occur cause by failing brakes or sophisticated stability control systems, then there's a very real chance that auto defects are to blame. Recognizing when those are factors is crucial to exploring all responsible parties and seeking the maximum payouts you deserve. Manufacturers design automobiles to mitigate the risk of errors that contribute to human causes of accidents, and when those safety features come up short, they take a measure of responsibility for ensuing crashes and incidents.
• Local government  or business negligence: These cases come into play when the crash is caused by poor roadway design and/or maintenance or other forms of negligence.

How Many Years Do I Have to File a Motorcycle Accident Lawsuit in Connecticut?

Under Connecticut law, individuals have two years to file personal injury lawsuits, which gives you the same amount of time.

CT's statute of limitations for motorcycle accident lawsuits is a strict two years, and it usually starts running the date of the crash (burdening victims, and giving them more opportunities to make mistakes that can complicate their claims or deprive them of a remedy). Here, it's also worth noting that although two years may seem like a long time, the time it takes to gather the necessary evidence and document all of the accident-related damages can zap this time. Plus, as some crucial evidence can get lost or destroyed as time goes by, the bottom line is that waiting to file a claim probably isn't in your best interests.

What If I Was Partially At-Fault for the Accident?

Motorcyclist injured in wrecks caused by others can still have claim even if he or she was partially at fault for collisions.

That is thanks to modified comparative fault, which – to sum it up – allows accident victims to seek compensation for the injuries and damage that have been caused by the accident, as long as the are not primarily to blame for that crash.

Even if you were 99% to blame for a crash. In other words, as long as it's a 50/50 thing, then you can still pursue a claim and recover funds to help cover future costs and losses.
