A proper investigation is usually complicated and only an experienced motorcycle accident lawyer knows how to conduct such an investigation. Allan Rombro has decades of experience examining and dissecting evidence in motorcycle crashes and the training and practice to present that evidence to judges, insurance companies and juries. He will overcome the unfair biases that exist against motorcyclists where judges and juries are often predisposed to find fault with the rider instead of the driver. As your lawyer, Allan Rombro will conduct a thorough investigation to include:
- Establishing driver fault: Nearly 70% of motorcycle accidents involving multiple vehicle are caused by drivers who violate a motorcyclist's right of way. In fact, the failure of car driver to 'see motorcyclists' is the leading cause of motorcycle crashes. Failing to check blind spots, misjudging the speed, and tailgating lead to motorcycle accidents.
- Assessing road conditions: Roadway conditions such as undivided highways, curves, and defects like potholes and pavement ridges, among others, contribute to motorcycle crash injuries and fatalities. Motorcycles are less stable than cars and thus more vulnerable on poorly maintained roads.
