Who Can Be Liable in a Motorcycle Accident?

Determining who is responsible for your motorcycle accident is crucial in pursuing a successful claim. Liability can fall on various parties, and sometimes, multiple parties can share the blame. 

Here are some potentially liable parties in a motorcycle accident:

• Other drivers: The most common cause of motorcycle accidents is the negligence of other drivers. This can include distracted driving, speeding, drunk driving, failing to yield the right of way, and improper lane changes.
• Government entities: If dangerous road conditions, such as potholes, debris, or faulty traffic signals, contributed to the accident, a city, county, or state agency could be held liable.
• Vehicle manufacturers: If a defect in the motorcycle or another vehicle involved contributed to the crash, the manufacturer may be held responsible.
• Motorcycle maintenance providers: If improper maintenance or faulty repairs contributed to the accident, the mechanic or repair shop could be liable.

Identifying all liable parties can be complex. We can conduct a thorough investigation to determine who is responsible for your injuries and hold them accountable.

Specific Considerations for Las Cruces Motorcycle Accidents

• New Mexico's shared fault laws: New Mexico follows a "pure comparative negligence" rule. This means that even if you were partially at fault for the accident, you can still recover compensation, but your award will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
