Mechanical Failures – Defective brakes, tires, or other parts that contribute to the crash

Take photos and document the scene – Capture vehicle damage, road conditions, and visible injuries if you’re able.
Exchange information – Get details from the other driver(s) and any witnesses.
Avoid speaking to insurance adjusters alone – They’re trained to reduce payouts. Let your attorney handle it.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About
Motorcycle Accident Claims in North Carolina
Call 911, seek medical treatment, and report the crash to law enforcement. If safe, document the scene with photos, gather witness info, and get the other driver’s insurance details. Then contact a motorcycle accident lawyer to protect your rights.
Yes, but North Carolina’s contributory negligence law could affect your case. Not wearing a helmet doesn’t automatically bar recovery, but insurance companies may argue it contributed to your injuries. A lawyer can help fight these claims.
You typically have three years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury claim. For fatal accidents, the deadline to file a wrongful death lawsuit is two years. Acting quickly helps preserve evidence and strengthen your case.
You may be entitled to damages for:
Medical bills
Lost wages
Pain and suffering
Motorcycle repairs or replacement
Permanent injury or disability
Every case is different—RHD Legal will work to recover the full value of your claim.
The at-fault driver is typically liable, but in some cases, liability could extend to a commercial vehicle company, local government (for unsafe roads), or even a manufacturer (for defective parts). We investigate all possible sources of liability.
Motorcyclists often face more severe injuries and unfair bias from insurance companies. Combined with North Carolina’s harsh contributory negligence rule, claims can be challenging. That’s why having an experienced attorney is essential.
