Whether there was a collision or the motorcycle operator had to lay the bike down, you\u2019ve suffered significant injuries. What are the potential sources of recovery when you\u2019ve been hurt as a passenger on a motorcycle?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other Drivers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The first place you\u2019ll typically look is at any other motorists involved in the crash. As a general rule, most motor vehicle accident claims are based on legal theory of negligence. That means that, with respect to another motorist, you\u2019ll have to show a failure to act reasonably (operate the bike as a reasonable person would) under the circumstances, which caused the accident and resulted in actual losses you suffered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Person Operating the Motorcycle on Which You Were Riding<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Suppose that the accident was caused by the person with whom you were riding. Maybe that person ran a red light, took a corner too fast, or failed to pay attention to the road. In New Jersey, you can always bring a lawsuit against that person, provided you are not related to them. You can even bring a personal injury claim against a relative, provided you don\u2019t live with them. If you reside in the same home, you\u2019ll be covered by their motor vehicle insurance policy, so you won\u2019t have a right to file a separate claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Person or Entity Responsible for Maintaining the Road<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your accident was caused by roadway defects, you may be able to bring a lawsuit against the person or agency with responsibility for keeping up the road. With respect to a municipal organization, though, there may be different rules regarding when and how to proceed with a claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Designer, Manufacturer, Distributor or Retailer of a Defective Product<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You may be able to file a product liability claim against any party in the chain of distribution, should your accident be caused by the malfunction or breakdown of a component of the motorcycle, another car or some other device.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Are Your Potential Sources of Recovery for Your Losses?
