Question:
Do I have a claim if I was injured while riding as a passenger a motorcycle?
Answer:
If you’re a passenger in a motorcycle crash case, you really have to look at two individuals against whom you could file a claim. One is the driver of the other vehicle. In other words, if you’re on the motorcycle as a passenger, what often happens is the other driver makes a sudden turn in front of you, causing the motorcycle to crash. You’re injured, so you look to that other vehicle in order to maintain a recovery. The other individual who may be liable is the driver of the motorcycle itself. Was the driver of the motorcycle doing something that was negligent or careless, and do you have a claim against that person?
As a passenger, you certainly have a claim, but you do have to look at who that claim is going to be against. Is it going to be against the driver of the other vehicle? Is it going to be against the driver of the motorcycle on which you were a passenger? Those are the two things that you have to consider in these cases.
