DPS: Miguel Marcos involved in motorcycle accident on Hwy 44 hurt one

MOTORCYCLE CRASH INVESTIGATION

Motorcycle operators must exercise additional caution when carrying a passenger due to changes in handling, balance, braking, and acceleration.

These types of crashes are frequently linked to speeding, reckless behavior, or impairment, according to Candice Bond, an experienced motorcycle accident attorney. Data from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) shows that 55 percent of female motorcyclists who died in crashes in 2023 were passengers.

Regardless of the conclusions of any official investigation, Bond emphasized the importance of retaining an attorney to perform an independent review of the crash to preserve evidence and protect the rights of an injured victim.

“Timeliness is critical in cases like this, and injured victims must ensure that evidence is examined promptly,” said Bond, Managing Partner at Bond Legal and national analyst for Accident Injury News. “Beyond law enforcement efforts, an attorney will analyze contributing factors, engage expert witnesses, review driver history, identify witnesses, and examine insurance coverage. Acting as an advocate, an attorney can help guide a client through this difficult time while safeguarding their legal rights and interests.”

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

The woman injured in this accident may have the option to pursue a personal injury claim. Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal, noted that the aftermath of a serious injury can place immense strain on all areas of a person’s life, including family, employment, finances, and overall well-being.

“While financial compensation cannot undo a serious injury, it is important that victims understand their legal rights and what they may be entitled to,” Formica said. “The injured individual in this case may be eligible to seek damages, including medical costs, future care, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.”
