Liable Parties in Birmingham Motorcycle Accidents
If you were the victim of a motorcycle accident in Birmingham, you may be able to hold the at-fault driver responsible. You may even have a case if you had to lay your bike down or make other evasive maneuvers that caused you to suffer injuries but prevented you from colliding with the other vehicle.
Many motorcycle cases hinge on the victim being able to prove the negligence of the driver at fault. Some common forms of driver negligence include:
- Not signaling a lane change or turn
- Failure to obey traffic signals
- Ignoring traffic signs
- Failure to check blind spots before changing lanes
- Failure to yield
- Pulling out in front of a motorcycle
- Following too closely
- Mechanical issues, such as no brake lights or no rear turn signal
- Distracted driving
- Drunk driving
- Fatigued driving
These are not the only ways a driver can be found negligent in a motorcycle accident case. If a mechanical failure caused your motorcycle accident, the liable party may be a negligent mechanic or component manufacturer.
The lawyers at the Morris Bart law firm can help determine who is liable for your injuries and pursue them for compensation. To get started, call us today at (205) 380-4158.

Statute of Limitations in Alabama
Alabama Code § 6-2-38 puts a two-year deadline on most motorcycle accident cases. If you do not file a personal injury lawsuit in the first two years following your Birmingham motorcycle accident, you may lose the right to do so later. Since it takes time to investigate these accidents and build a compelling case, we recommend reaching out to us as early as possible after your accident.
