Who Is Responsible for Defective Motorcycle Accidents?
Multiple parties may be responsible for your defective motorcycle accident. Our legal team can help you pursue an injury claim against the liable party or parties.
An Automotive Manufacturer
If your vehicle is defective, either in design or assembly, we can help you hold the manufacturer liable for the damage caused by filing a defective product claim. If you were using your motorcycle for its intended purpose and didn’t alter it, it should have been safe for you to use.
We can hold the manufacturer responsible for a defect that caused the accident that injured you.
An Aftermarket Parts Manufacturer
Even if your motorcycle was safe when you purchased it, your case may still qualify for a defective parts claim. If you made alterations to your motorcycle with aftermarket parts, such as installing replacement parts, the manufacturer of those parts may be held responsible for contributing to the crash.
Other Motorists
It’s possible that another motorist contributed to your crash. For example, if a faulty part on your motorcycle failed and another motorist could have taken action to avoid a collision but didn’t, that driver may be partially to blame.
If another driver did something illegal or dangerous, and you were unable to take evasive maneuvers due to an automotive defect, that driver may be held liable for contributing to the accident.
A motorcycle defective parts lawyer in Birmingham can review your case to identify other parties who may be responsible for your accident and resulting losses.
How Long do You Have to File Your Case?
While it takes time to build a strong case and understand the full scope of your injuries, legal deadlines apply to your case. Alabama’s statute of limitations for traffic accidents is two years. That means you must file your defective motorcycle parts claim within two years of the date of your crash or you will lose your chance to recover your losses.
Can I Afford a Mobile Motorcycle Defective Parts Lawyer?
Depending on the law firm you choose to work with, the cost may be a concern. Other law firms may charge for an initial consultation or require clients to pay upfront fees. Others may even charge an hourly rate.
