Rhode Island Motorcycle Accident Attorney

Rhode Island motorcycle accident statistics show that motorcycle accidents typically account for a disproportionately high number of catastrophic traffic accidents resulting in brain injury, broken bones, paralysis, and death. Tragically, the vast majority of RI motorcycle accidents were unavoidable by the motorcyclist who was injured or killed but could have been easily avoided by the other vehicle driver who caused it. The experienced personal injury attorneys at Peter M. Iascone and Associates LTD. understand the complex aspects of RI motorcycle accident cases, including:

• R I vehicle laws pertaining to motorcyclists
• Motorcycle accident reconstruction
• Roadway design and architecture as it relates to motorcyclists

In most motorcycle-motor vehicle accidents, a negligent or inattentive automobile driver is at fault. Some of the common types of collisions include:

• A driver swerving directly in front of a motorcyclist
• A driver pulling out of an intersection or driveway into the path of an oncoming motorcycle
• A driver’s failure to follow posted traffic laws or yield proper right of way
• A driver’s failure to see a motorcyclist when changing lanes or passing other motor vehicles
• A driver who is temporarily impaired by drugs or alcohol
