Common Types of Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents often occur due to the negligence of other drivers or unsafe road conditions. Common causes include:

  • Driver Negligence

    Distracted driving, speeding, or failing to yield to motorcyclists can lead to serious accidents.

  • Left-Turn Collisions

    Drivers making left turns often misjudge a motorcyclist’s speed or fail to see them entirely.

  • Lane Changes Without Checking

    Motorists who fail to check their blind spots may collide with motorcyclists.

  • Hazardous Road Conditions

    Potholes, debris, or uneven pavement can be especially dangerous for motorcyclists.

  • Driving Under the Influence

    Impaired drivers pose a significant threat to motorcyclists on the road.

At MPJ Law Firm, we thoroughly investigate the circumstances of your accident to determine fault and build a strong case for your recovery.

Elements of a Motorcycle Accident Claim

To successfully pursue a motorcycle accident claim, we must prove the following elements:

  • Duty of Care: The at-fault party owed a responsibility to operate their vehicle safely and respect motorcyclists’ rights on the road.
  • Breach of Duty: This duty was violated through negligence, recklessness, or failure to follow traffic laws.
  • Causation: The breach directly caused the accident and the resulting injuries.
  • Damages:  The accident resulted in measurable harm, including medical bills, pain and suffering, and lost wages.

Our team is skilled at gathering evidence, such as police reports, accident scene photos, and expert analysis, to build a compelling case.

The Importance of Prompt Consultation

If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle accident, it’s essential to contact an attorney as soon as possible. Acting promptly helps in the following ways:


  • Preserving Evidence: Collecting accident scene photos, witness statements, and medical records is crucial to building a strong case.
  • Protecting Your Rights: Insurance companies may attempt to blame motorcyclists for accidents unfairly. Legal representation ensures your side of the story is heard.
  • Meeting Deadlines: In New Mexico, motorcycle accident claims must be filed within three years of the incident. Failing to act in time can jeopardize your right to compensation.
