Riders Share Motorcycle Rental Accident Attorneys

Injuries Resulting from Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents are among the most dangerous types of accidents – as they are likely to result in devastating injuries. Common injuries resulting from motorcycle accidents include the following:

• Head injuries
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Neck injuries
• Back injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Fractures
• Severed limbs
• Impaling injuries
• Road burn
• Burn injuries
• Crushing injuries

Unfortunately, motorcycle accidents tend to be more severe than most other vehicular accidents. This is because motorcyclists are not protected by any sort of frames designed to take the impact like in passenger vehicles. In addition, motorcyclists involved in accidents are always at risk of being launched many feet into the air as well as getting run over by other drivers on the road. These incidents often result in critical, or fatal, injuries.

Who Is Liable?

Who is liable for the harm that you suffered in a motorcycle accident in a motorcycle that you rented through Riders Share? Well, like in any other type of accident, the party that negligently caused the accident could be liable – if your accident was caused by the reckless actions of another driver on the road, you could sue the driver for the harm that you suffered.

What if the accident was caused by an issue with the motorcycle that you rented? If a mechanical, electrical, or any other issue related to motorcycle maintenance or necessary inspections caused the accident, then the motorcycle owner could be liable – of course, Riders Share could also be liable in some circumstances.

The motorcycle owner could be liable for failing to ensure that his or her bike is safe to be on the road. Similarly, Riders Share could be liable for failing to confirm that bikes meet safety requirements, failing to inspect bikes, and failing to take any action after receiving complaints from other users regarding rentals.

Riders Share Insurance Policy

According to Riders Share, the company has a policy designed to protect Renters up to the specific state minimum financial requirement and owners up to $300,000 during the rental period. To be covered by the insurance policy, the motorcycles must “be legally registered, meet all safety standards, and must be certified and meet all listing criteria on Riders Share.” Renters will be covered by minimum coverage as long as the renter is in compliance with the company’s terms and the motorcycle is not misused during the rental period.

Can You Sue?

Yes, you could have grounds to file a lawsuit for the harm that you suffered in your motorcycle accident during the rental period of a Riders Share rental. If you have case-specific questions regarding your right to sue (including whether your lawsuit should be against the motorcycle owner, the company, or both), do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with our motorcycle experts here at our law firm immediately.

You Could Be Compensated

Could you recover compensation? If you decide to file a lawsuit, you could be eligible to recover monetary compensation for the harm that you suffered. What could you receive? Although every claim is different, you could potentially recover compensation for some of the following:

• Medical expenses
• Lost wages

Act Quickly – Your Claim is Subject to a Deadline

All injury claims are subject to a statute of limitations, which determine the total time that claimants have to sue. In California, this is typically a two-year deadline, meaning that you only have two years to file your claim before losing your right to sue. In some cases, it is possible for exceptions to apply. For more information about the total length of time that you have to file your motorcycle accident claim against Riders Share, do not hesitate to contact the experts at our law firm immediately.
