Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Ottawa

At Yegendorf Rashid, our experienced motorcycle accident lawyers in Ottawa understand the unique risks and challenges riders face daily. We recognize how factors like unpredictable road conditions, inattentive drivers, and the lack of structural protection can make motorcycle accidents particularly devastating. Our team combines deep legal knowledge with a commitment to helping you navigate the complexities of accident claims, ensuring you receive the support and compensation needed to move forward.

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in Ottawa

Riding a motorcycle can still be dangerous even when wearing the recommended protective gear and following all traffic rules. Motorcycles do not provide the same protection as a vehicle. Thus, even a seemingly minor collision can lead to severe or permanent injuries.

Motorcycle accidents can occur due to many factors. Some causes include overspeeding, aggressive driving (especially by car drivers), and inattention while riding a motorcycle. Similarly, poor road conditions can turn an enjoyable motorcycle ride into a traumatizing event within a split second.

Considering the many causes of motorcycle accidents, every rider must understand the inherent risks of riding motorcycles in traffic. For instance, car drivers have blind spots, and motorcycles are smaller than vehicles, making improper lane changes risky.

Vehicle drivers making left-hand turns at intersections also pose a higher safety risk for motorcycle riders. Collisions in such areas can lead to serious motorcycle injuries or even death, especially if the rider is clipped at the side or struck from behind.

Motorcyclists must also understand that poor road conditions can cause accidents. For instance, potholes, slippery surfaces due to ice, loose debris, and poorly maintained roads can lead to motorcycle accidents.

Suppose you suffered a motorcycle injury in an accident. In that case, you may be legally entitled to financial compensation. All motorcyclists in Ottawa and across Ontario are required to have an insurance cover.

Thus, you can file a personal injury claim and get compensation that will help pay for your medical treatment and cover lost wages. It can also cover other medical expenses associated with further medical attention from occupational therapists.

Remember, you are entitled to compensation under your no-fault insurance, which is also referred to as the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule. Thus, you can still obtain compensation even if you were partly responsible for the motorcycle accident.

Your no-fault insurance policy does not offer compensation for every damage associated with motorcycle accidents. Therefore, motorcycle accident victims may need to file a tort claim against the at-fault party to obtain no-economic damages such as pain and suffering.

Contact our personal injury law firm today if you were injured in a motorcycle accident. Our experienced personal injury lawyers have been helping victims of motor vehicle accidents to pursue insurance claims successfully.

Thus, do not settle for an unreasonable settlement offer from an insurance policy provider. Our knowledgeable personal injury lawyer will fight for your right to fair compensation for the injuries you suffered.
