Excessive Speed May Have Caused Seattle Area Motorcycle Accident

A 42-year-old man was critically injured in a Washington motorcycle accident. According to a news report, the man was going north on 132nd Avenue Southeast, on a 1998 Honda motorcycle, when he was struck from behind by a 1995 Mercedes 280 driven by a 30-year-old man. The driver, a Renton man, was uninjured. The motorcycle rider was wearing a helmet, but sustained critical injuries in the crash. He was transported to a Seattle hospital. Investigators believe excessive speed was a factor in this major injury motorcycle crash.

Rear-end collisions, especially when the affected vehicle is a motorcycle, can cause devastating injuries. In this particular case, officials believe that the driver of the other vehicle was traveling at a high rate of speed, which apparently caused him to rear-end the motorcyclist. In auto accidents where speeding, reckless driving or other types of negligence are involved, the at-fault party can be held financially responsible for the injuries and damages caused.

If someone in your family has been seriously injured in a motorcycle accident, my advice would be to contact a Seattle personal injury lawyer right away. Do not delay contacting an injury attorney because critical accident scene evidence could be lost. Physical evidence obtained at the scene can make or break a Washington motorcycle accident case.
