Arizona Motorcycle Attorney for Suzuki Motorcycle Accidents
While Suzuki motorcycles offer many great advantages, they, like motorcycles, are often more dangerous than average passenger cars. If your Suzuki motorcycle has been involved in an accident, contact an experienced attorney to discuss your case.
PHOENIX, AZ, August 17, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Suzuki is renowned around the world as one of the premier manufacturer of sport motorcycles. Since the 1970s, Suzuki motorcycles have become increasingly popular in the United States. These small motorcycles are renowned for their performance and are popular among both racers and everyday commuters.
However, while Suzuki motorcycles offer many great advantages, they, like motorcycles, are often more dangerous than average passenger cars. Their small size makes them likely to be struck by inattentive drivers who do not see them. The small size also makes injuries much more likely. In addition, Suzuki, like all other motorcycle manufacturers, may have certain product defects that can lead to accidents.
If your Suzuki has been involved in an accident in Phoenix, Mesa, Glendale or elsewhere in Maricopa County, you should consult an Arizona motorcycle attorney to discuss your case. An experienced Arizona motorcycle lawyer can help you deal with the insurance company, as well as take actions against any negligent parties who may be responsible for your accident, such as other drivers, the manufacturer or government agencies.
Increased Risk for Car-Motorcycle Accidents
The number one cause of car-motorcycle accidents is the car driver not seeing the motorcycle and failing to observe the motorcyclist's right of way. This inattentiveness on the part of the car driver causes up to two thirds of all car-motorcycle accidents.
This is a problem for all motorcyclists, but riders of smaller motorcycles such as Suzukis are at an increased risk because their small size makes them even harder to see than larger motorcycles.
Dangerous Road Conditions
Improperly maintained roads present a hazard to all motorists, but are especially dangerous to drivers of small motorcycles such as Suzukis. Even minor road hazards such as small potholes, oil slicks, and debris on the road can cause the Suzuki rider to lose control of the motorcycle and have an accident.
It is the responsibility of government agencies and their contractors to properly maintain roads so that these types of accidents do not happen. If your accident was caused by an improperly maintained road, the government agency or its contractor may be liable for your accident. If you believe this is the case, you should discuss it with your Arizona motorcycle lawyer.
Product Defects in Honda Motorcycles
Product defects are often an even more severe issue on motorcycles than they are on cars, as even a minor problem can cause the rider to lose control of the motorcycle, or can increase their likelihood to be struck by another motorist.
Recently, Suzuki issued a recall for over 26,000 2005 and 2006 sport bikes due to a defect in the frame's front wheel/fork assembly and cracking and breaking behind and below the bike's steering neck. This defect can lead the steering mechanism to become loose or even completely detach from the rest of the bike, causing the rider to lose all control.
This is just one example of a product defect in Suzuki motorcycles that can either lead to an accident or make injuries suffered in an accident more severe. If you believe a product defect may have played a role in your accident, you should discuss it with your Arizona motorcycle attorney.
