Motocross Rider Dies in Freak Accident at Lake Elsinore Motorsports Park – Motocross Wrongful Death Lawyers

There are many possible causes of these incidents. Some examples of possible causes can include the following:

• Defective motorbikes which can lead to a loss of brakes, loss of power, loss of steering, bike collapse, tires falling off, etc.
• Dangerous motocross paths, including poor visibility, blind spots, unsafe intersecting paths, etc.
• Inexperienced motocross riders, inexperienced riders riding at more difficult motorsport paths/parks.
• Negligent motocross riders, including older/experienced riders using paths/parks designated for novice or younger riders.
• Intentional actions of riders, or purposefully crashing into other riders
• Rider error, including riding too fast, taking sharp turns, not checking for other riders, etc.

In addition, it is important that the injuries suffered in these accidents can worsen significantly if the rider is not wearing appropriate gear or if the gear (including helmets) is defective.

These incidents can lead to devastating injuries, which could include the following:

• Head injuries, including concussions, traumatic brain injuries, and skull fractures
• Neck injuries, including whiplash and fractures
• Back injuries, including herniated discs, slipped discs, broken back, etc.
• Spinal cord injuries, which can lead to paralysis or quadriplegia
• Fractures, including broken ribs, broken arms, broken legs, etc.
• Shoulder injuries
• Pelvic injuries
• Hip injuries
• Crushing injuries
• Severed limbs
• Nerve damage
• Ligament and muscle damage
• Lacerations
• Road burn
• Scrapes and bruises

Although some of these injuries might seem to be only minor, the truth is that these injures can cause permanent disability and could even be fatal.

If you or a member of your family suffered any of these injuries – or suffered fatal injuries – you could have the right to file a lawsuit. For more information about the legal options available to you, please do not hesitate to contact the experts here at our law firm at your earliest convenience.

Your right to file a lawsuit is based on the cause of the incident. For example, if the accident occurred because of the unsafe conditions at the motorsports park, claimants could sue the property owner; this would be based on the concept of premise liability and the failure to keep the premises safe. Property owners could be liable for failing to identify and address hazards and even for failing to ensure that all riders were following rules. If the incident occurred because of a defective motorbike, then the product manufacturer could be sued; this would be based on the concept of product liability and the failure to ensure that the product was safe for consumers.

Because these incidents could be associated with many different causes, many parties/entities could be liable for injuries and for wrongful death. We understand that it could be very difficult for victims and their families to even think about filing a lawsuit and everything from establishing liability to finding a lawyer to help. Our team knows that this is a difficult time, and we urge you to let us take care of your case.

Yes, you can be eligible to recover compensation for a motorcross accident claim, although the compensation available will look different based on whether you are pursuing an injury claim or a wrongful death claim. The following categories of compensation may be available for recovery:

• Medical costs
• Lost income
• Pain and suffering
• Property damage
• Funeral and burial costs
• Loss of consortium
• Punitive damages
• Legal fees

What can I recover? Based on the details surrounding your claim, you could be entitled to recover some of the compensation mentioned above. Ultimately, the value of your claim will be based on the severity of the injuries suffered as well as many other factors. Injury claims and wrongful death claims could be worth anywhere from $150,000 to $3 million depending on the facts.

How long will it take to settle my case? It can take anywhere from just a few months to two years to settle injury cases and wrongful death cases. Here at our law firm, we are committed to settling your case within a reasonable length of time.

Our team can take over to help you get the settlement that you are owed.

In California, personal injury claims and wrongful death claims are subject to a two-year statute of limitations. This means that claimants only have two years to file their lawsuits. When claimants do not file their claims on time, they can lose their right to sue entirely. Although parents can sue on behalf of their children, an injured child can pursue his or her own lawsuit once he or she turns eighteen. In other words, the two-year statute of limitations will be tolled until the victim is an adult. For more information about the total length of time that you have to pursue your claim, contact us today. Our team will make sure that your motorcross accident claim is filed on time.
