How to Determine Fault in a Motorcycle Accident 

Motorcyclists have the same right to the road as any other driver. However, in the event of an accident, those on motorcycles may be much more vulnerable to injuries and damage. Determining fault in these cases can be complicated which is why gathering evidence is crucial. Additional factors like the condition of the road, weather, and the speed of vehicles also apply. 

Oklahoma uses comparative negligence which means that you can be found partially at fault for an accident. However, as long as your liability is 49% or less of the fault, you are still entitled to compensation. This is why it’s important to consult with an experienced personal injury attorney who can help you assess the specific details of your accident. At DiPasquale more, our attorneys can help you navigate the legal complexities to determine fault accurately.  

Damages You Can Be Compensated for in a Motorcycle Crash 

Compensation doesn’t turn back time to before your accident happened, but it can make the recovery process less. Motorcycle accidents can leave you unable to work while also needing to pay for high medical bills and property damage. We will help you recover the compensation you deserve so that economic and non-economic damages are covered¹. These include: 

• Costs of emergency treatment and services. 
• Medical costs. 
• Property loss or property damage. 
• Loss of current and future wages. 
• Pain and suffering.  
• Funeral or burial expenses.
