What Kind of Evidence Do You Need in a Motorcycle Accident Case?

Motorcycle accidents can be devastating, often resulting in serious and even life-threatening injuries. Victims deserve justice. Even if you’ve been injured as a result of someone else’s negligence, however, you’ll still need a significant amount of evidence in order to win a favorable settlement or verdict. In this article, we’ll answer the question, “What kind of evidence do you need in a motorcycle accident case?”

Evidence in a Motorcycle Accident Case 

Whether you’re represented by a motorcycle accident lawyer or not, you’ll need evidence in order to support your claim for compensation. In many cases, a comprehensive investigation is needed in order to prove liability.

Evidence that can help prove fault in a motorcycle accident case includes:

• Witness testimony
• Expert testimony (such as by accident reconstructionists)
• Photos of the crash scene (including debris, skid marks, pavement markings, and more) and injuries
• Surveillance video or dash cam footage
• The official accident report from law enforcement
• Vehicle damage

An experienced personal injury lawyer and investigation team can help collect evidence for your motorcycle accident case. At Riddle & Brantley, we have a team of retired law enforcement officers on staff to help lead these investigations.

In motorcycle accident cases involving trucks or tractor-trailers, we can also obtain black box data, truck maintenance records, driver employment records, and other evidence that can help prove liability.

In many cases, we’ll even bring in outside experts like accident reconstructionists to help prove liability and provide additional evidence in motorcycle accidents.

It is important that you act fast — certain evidence must be documented immediately or preserved.

Evidence of Damages in Motorcycle Accident Cases

You’ll also need to provide evidence to support potential damages, as well. This evidence may include but is not limited to:

• Medical records
• Medical bills
• Other bills for related expenses like medical equipment
• Wage and employment records
• Letters of support from medical providers
• Diary (documenting your suffering, treatments, and experience after the accident)

In motorcycle accident cases involving injuries that will require long-term care, a personal injury lawyer can also obtain a comprehensive life care plan to help calculate future costs of care.

At Riddle & Brantley, we have the experience and resources needed to obtain the evidence you need in a motorcycle accident case in order to secure compensation.

In more than 35 years serving clients in North Carolina, we’ve secured millions of dollars in compensation (see disclaimer below) for victims of motorcycle accidents, including:

• $1,000,000 — Our client was a passenger when she was thrown from a motorcycle when the driver lost control in an s-curve. We proved the driver was negligent in the accident and secured $1,000,000 in total compensation through a negotiated settlement with the insurance company.
• $1,000,000 — Our client was thrown 15 feet from his motorcycle when he was hit by another vehicle that did not have the right of way. The defendant was charged in the accident and we filed a separate civil claim, ultimately securing $1,000,000 in total compensation for the injured victim.
• $300,000 — We represented a motorcyclist who was t-boned by a truck when pulling onto a busy highway. Liability was disputed but we were able to prove fault in the accident through a comprehensive investigation, ultimately settling the matter for $300,000 in total compensation.
