Cupertino Defective Motorcycle Attorneys
With up to 80 percent of motorcycle operators facing injury at some point in their driving career, riding a bike is dangerous enough without the additional risk of faulty motorcycle design. Unfortunately, design defects in motorcycles can contribute to or even cause injury or fatalities on the road. As the operator of a motorcycle on California roads, you have privileges, but you also have the right to ride a bike that is free of design flaws that could endanger your life.
If you've been injured in a motorcycle accident in Northern California, dangerous or defective design could have contributed to or even caused your accident and injury. Motorcycle companies who allow poorly-designed and unsafe bikes to be sold and operated should be taken to task for their negligence. And you can do just that with a valid design defect lawsuit.
Do you have a valid claim? It depends. In order to prove that your bike was in fact defectively designed, you are obligated to prove three things before a court of law: that the part in question was in fact defective; that it was defective before it was released and sold by the manufacturer; and that it caused your injury and/or accident.
If you're thinking of filing a design defect claim, it's essential that you keep any and all parts as evidence. Document your injury and your purchase to the best of your ability, and be sure to consider factors such as faulty parts labeling, in which parts are mislabeled or fail to warn of potential risks to motorcyclists. An experienced, aggressive motorcycle accident attorney with design defect experience can help you identify and present this evidence in a court of law - and collect compensation for your injuries.
