Motorcyclist Dies in Head-On Collision

A motorcycle and a Cadillac were involved in a head-on collision on Grants Mill Road near I-469 Friday afternoon. The operator of the motorcycle was killed in the crash. No other injuries were reported. Sadly, crashes involving motorcycles often result in serious injuries and death to motorcycle riders and their passengers. Motorcycles lack the protective shell, seat belts, air bags, and other safety features standard on passenger vehicles. This makes motorcyclists more likely to die in an accident than occupants of passenger vehicles.

If someone you love has been killed in a motorcycle accident, Birmingham wrongful death attorney Barry Walker can help you seek justice against the person responsible for causing the accident. Auto accidents are often caused by negligent or reckless conduct by the drivers of other vehicles involved in the accident. Other drivers often report not having seen the motorcycle prior to the crash. This could be caused by a variety of factors, including distractions such as talking on a cell phone, text messaging, or adjusting the radio, as well as reckless conduct such as speeding or driving under the influence of alcohol. If another driver's negligent or reckless behavior caused your loved one's death, contact an experienced Birmingham wrongful death attorney to discuss your legal options.
