Motorcycle Accidents

 

Little Rock, Arkansas

More than one-in-10 traffic fatalities in the U.S. now involve motorcycles, the highest level since 1981. About half of these fatalities involve riders and operators over 40. Even when riders follow the rules of the road and wear protective gear, they are no match for careless truck and car drivers who fail to signal, ignore traffic lights, or speed. A motorcycle crash lawyer at Duncan Firm knows how to prove negligence when this happens.

Motorcycle Injuries

Another cause of motorcycle crashes involves product defects; defective tires, equipment, gear or structural components.  A motorcycle crash product liability lawyer at Duncan Firm has the latest information on product defects and resources to uncover manufacturer negligence.

Motorcycle Product Liability

Manufacturers have a duty under the law to make and sell products that are reasonably safe. Motorcycle manufactures, both foreign and domestic, owe this duty to motorcycle drivers, their passengers, and others (such as motorists) who might reasonably be expected to come into contact with the product.

Product liability covers manufacturing defects, failure to adequately warn or instruct, and design defects. Product liability lawyers at Duncan Firm are used to dealing with major companies over defective products, and can help you recover damages you deserve.

Examples of defects that may cause or contribute to a motorcycle crash include:

  • Defective tires; tires that deflate suddenly
  • Failure to adequately warn about weight limits, leading to tire failure
  • Design flaws, such as frame weakness
