Parties Who May Be Liable for a Boynton Beach Motorcycle Accident

One of the first critical steps in investigating a motorcycle accident claim is identifying who may be responsible for the crash. This means determining who caused the accident and any subsequent injuries you may have suffered. In a motorcycle accident, several parties may be liable for the crash. The party, or parties, found to be responsible for a motorcycle accident will depend heavily on the specific circumstances of the crash. Some of the common parties found liable in Boynton Beach motorcycle accident cases are as follows:
- A driver of a car or truck involved in the crash
- Another motorcyclist
- A government entity responsible for the roadway
- Contractors involved in the construction or design of the roadway
- The manufacturer of the motorcycle
Our Boynton Beach motorcycle accident lawyers will investigate the crash to help identify the potentially liable party or parties in your case. This requires collecting evidence necessary to prove what happened and who caused the crash. This critical evidence may include the following:
- Photographs from the scene of the motorcycle crash
- Video footage of the motorcycle accident or of the scene
- Witness statements
- An accident or crash report
- Expert witness testimony
- Dashcam footage

How to Prove Liability After a Boynton Beach Motorcycle Accident
When gathering evidence to determine who may be responsible for the crash, our team of Boynton Beach motorcycle accident attorneys also gathers evidence necessary to demonstrate what happened, which in turn is necessary to prove liability. The victim in the crash has the burden of showing who caused the crash and why and how that person or company was negligent. This is, of course, necessary to prove liability in your case, and recover for the harm you have suffered.
To prevail in your motorcycle accident case, you must establish the four elements of negligence. These four elements include the following:
- The at-fault party or parties owed you a duty of care
- The at-fault party or parties breached that duty of care owed to you
- The breach of duty led to your Boynton Beach motorcycle accident and subsequent injuries
- You have suffered harm and losses as a result of their negligence
