A motorcycle defect does not refer to the normal wear and tear that all vehicles experience over time. Instead, motorcycle defects relate to a fundamental problem with a machine that the manufacturer should have noted, such as problems with the bike’s design, errors that occurred during the manufacturing process, or the manufacturer’s failure to provide adequate warnings or instructions regarding the bike.
Motorcycle defects can take many dangerous forms, including:
Sometimes, liability may also lie with the dealer or the repair shop that performs maintenance and makes repairs on the bike. For example, if your bike has a design flaw or an issue that the mechanic identified but failed to warn you about, they could share liability for the damages you experience. Regardless of the kind of defect or failure to warn that caused your crash and injuries, a trusted Spartanburg lawyer from KD Trial Lawyers is well prepared to help with your motorbike crash claim.
It is not unusual for problems with motorcycles to lead to recalls, which are designed to protect motorcyclists and those they share our roads with. A recall amounts to the motorcycle manufacturer admitting that there is a safety issue and offering an appropriate repair or replacement.
Often, recalls come with no cost attached. It is also important to note that some recalls are not voluntary. Instead, NHTSA orders them in response to safety concerns. If a motorcycle recall occurred and you were never notified, our Spartanburg legal team could help avoid any shifting blame in an injury claim that suggests you knew about a recall when you did not.
Cases involving motorcycle defects or recalls are different from most other motorcycle accident claims. Instead of needing to prove that another driver’s negligence caused the accident, these claims hinge on the danger posed by the bike itself.
Proving that a motorcycle was dangerously defective or that there was a relevant recall that could have prevented you from being harmed is legally challenging. It is often necessary to bring in professional testimony, which adds another layer of complication. Our dedicated attorneys in Spartanburg are familiar with motorcycle accident claims and how defects and recalls factor into the legal concerns, and we could help protect the strength and validity of your case.
