Can You Sue After a Negligent Motorcycle Rider?

Negligent acts that may cause a motorcycle accident include:
- Operating a motorcycle without a license
- Speeding
- Racing
- Lane splitting
- Changing lanes without signaling
- Aggressive driving

- Impaired driving
- Stunts or tricks
If the motorcycle rider who caused your accident was issued a citation for a moving violation, that may help your case. However, a personal injury lawsuit is a civil matter. You may be able to sue the at-fault driver regardless of the legal repercussions they face as a result of their actions.
