A large number of motorcycle accidents are the result of equipment failure and defective motorcycle components. These can include:
- Defective tires
- Brake failure
- Shock absorber failure
- Chain failure
- Improper dealer repairs or service
- And others
Under the legal theory of product liability, the manufacturer of a defective product must pay for the medical costs and financial losses of a person who is seriously injured as a result of the defect or failure.

Please note these cases are not always easy to win, even when liability is clear and the loss is great.

Determining the True Cause of the Accident
One of our top priorities will be to identify the true cause or causes of the accident. Accomplishing this often requires specialized failure analysis expertise. As such, we work closely with safety experts, engineers, accident reconstruction specialists, motorcycle technicians and others to determine the exact cause of failure and to establish liability on the part of the manufacturer or dealer.
An accident caused by a motorcycle defect may involve only the rider. In these situations, the police report may not attribute the accident to the defect and may actually blame the motorcycle rider. The insurance company and/or the manufacturer may then attempt to use this report to deny your claim or to minimize any payout.
For this reason and more, it is advisable to be represented by an experienced lawyer in motorcycle defect cases. Using our knowledge, experience, investigative resources and equipment experts, Abel & Abel, LLP will build a strong and persuasive case designed to maximize the compensation you receive.
