Motorcycle accidents occur frequently and can lead to devastating injuries and, in some instances, even fatalities. Oftentimes, other motorists involved in motorcycle-related crashes are quick to accuse motorcyclists of speeding or riding recklessly. While numerous accidents are caused by both negligent riders and drivers, many accidents are due to malfunctioning or defective motorcycles. Motorcycle crashes regularly take place for no apparent reason, not because of other motorists, alcohol, or other evident conditions. Unfortunately, riders are commonly blamed for accidents without ever knowing that their faulty bikes were the actual cause. Similar to any other mechanical products, motorcycles are susceptible to defects during both the design and manufacturing phases. Although the exact number of accidents that result from malfunctioning motorcycles or faulty repairs is widely unknown, bike recalls are a regular occurrence. In many instances, inspections can help uncover that faulty motorcycles were the real reasons behind crashes. When bikers ride substandard motorcycles, the risks of crashing and being severely injured are multiplied exponentially.

If you, or a loved one, were seriously injured in a motorcycle accident caused by a faulty bike, you may be eligible to pursue a claim against the motorcycle manufacturing company, parts manufacturer, and any other parties responsible for your injuries. Victims of defective motorcycle accidents may be eligible for monetary compensation for their medical treatment, pain and suffering, lost wages, and future losses through a product liability lawsuit.

Generally, motorcycle defects arise during the design or production phases. Numerous defects, such as motorcycle components, can substantially increase the risk of crashing. The most common types of motorcycle defects include:

1. Defective design: Flawed designs often occur when a motorcycle’s designers and engineers fail to realize that their design is inherently dangerous. Motorcycles with faulty designs can wobble and be difficult to control, leading to a heightened risk of crashing.
2. Tire defects: These defects can lead to treads unraveling from the tires, which commonly results in blowouts. Blowouts make it almost impossible for bikers to maintain control of the motorcycles and often lead to severe head-on collisions.
3. Malfunctioning brakes: Faulty brakes, improper installation, or other problems related to poor maintenance can make motorcycles extremely difficult to stop or even slow down. Brake failure poses an obvious danger to the motorcyclists, as well as to other motorists, and pedestrians. Depending on the type of brake defect, the motorcycle manufacturer, brake parts manufacturer, or the mechanic that installed the brakes may be held liable.
4. Faulty fuel systems: Due to the proximity of a motorcyclist’s body and exposed nature of the fuel system’s components, fuel defects commonly lead to severe burns to a victim’s body and lower extremities. For instance, placing the ignition too close to the fuel tank amplifies the risk of fire or explosion.
5. Other manufacturing flaws: Every component plays a vital role in the proper maneuvering and operation of the motorcycle. If any parts are made from substandard materials, missing, or installed improperly, it can cause the motorcycle to malfunction, breakdown, or crash.

Every component of a motorcycle must function properly to keep riders safe and prevent avoidable crashes. Regretfully, most motorcyclists have no idea that their bike is defective until a devastating accident occurs. Depending on the circumstances of an accident, the motorcycle’s designers, manufacturers, installers, mechanics, and dealers can be held liable for breaching their legal duty to ensure that their products did not pose any unreasonable safety risks. Under New York law, motorcycles must be reasonably safe for their intended use. To successfully demonstrate product liability, accident victims must show that the motorcycle was defective and created an unreasonable risk while riding. Product liability claims, especially ones involving motorcycles, can be remarkably technical, requiring extensive investigations, expert witnesses, thorough research, and testing to prove successfully.

The Dietrich Law Firm P.C.’s accomplished team has a long history of obtaining justice for victims of defective products. To help the jury determine that the motorcycle was defective due to a manufacturing flaw, we will collaborate with our world-renowned manufacturing experts to testify about industry standards, how the manufacturing process formed the defective motorcycle, and how the manufacturing defect caused your injury. For instance, a manufacturing expert may testify as to how the manufacturing of a motorcycle’s brake pads made it impossible to stop the bike and directly led to an accident. Evidence of motorcycle defects can be uncovered through the kind of damage that occurs to the bike, the motorcycle’s position after the crash, and the type of skid marks around the site. Our experienced product liability lawyers will act swiftly and suitably to develop the most effective legal strategy to enhance your chances of receiving the maximum compensation for all injuries suffered and guarantee that justice is delivered.
