Renton Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Renton and the surrounding areas have many scenic highways that motorcycle enthusiasts love. Cedar River Trail and the Lake Washington Loop are just two of the numerous local routes that showcase the area’s natural beauty. Unfortunately, our roads can also be the scene of catastrophic accidents.

Motorcycle riders are particularly vulnerable in crashes with little protection between them, other vehicles, and the road. After many accidents, at-fault vehicle drivers have stated that they simply did not see the motorcycle until it was too late. This reduced visibility can make motorcycle accidents much more likely, especially with inexperienced or distracted drivers. Additionally, being much smaller and lighter than any passenger vehicle on the road means the impact on the motorcycle rider is much greater and more devastating. That, combined with the lack of a vehicle’s protective barriers, exposes the rider to the most severe types of injuries.

Common Causes of Renton Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle riders face numerous hazards and accidents can be caused by a wide variety of reasons. Most of the time, negligent drivers are to blame. Even many non-contact accidents occur from a motorcyclist dodging a reckless driver. Although they may not have collided with the vehicle, they crashed because of the driver’s actions. Some of the most common causes of Renton motorcycle accidents include:

In some motorcycle accidents, there may be more than one party liable. For example, the driver may be partially responsible and the manufacturer of a defective vehicle part could also be responsible. At Brumley Law Firm, we carefully investigate our clients’ motorcycle accidents to determine all causes and responsible parties.

Comparative Fault in Renton Motorcycle Accidents

The State of Washington follows a pure comparative fault rule. This means that if you are partially responsible for the accident, you may still be able to recover compensation for your damages.

However, your compensation will be reduced by the percentage of fault assigned to you. For example, if you are found to be 50% at fault and your compensation award is $100,000, you would receive $50,000 because your award was reduced by 50% which is the percentage of fault assigned to you.

Even if you think you are partly at fault in a motorcycle accident, consult with an experienced Renton motorcycle accident lawyer. The dedicated lawyers at Brumley Law Firm work hard to reduce the amount of any fault assigned to you and to maximize your compensation.
