In this video, Sevenish Law answers the question: If the other driver says she didn’t see me, does that mean she’s legally at fault? Probably, but not always. Motorists have a responsibility to maintain a proper look-out for oncoming traffic, including motorcycles, before making a move. If a reasonably careful driver should have seen you, drivers who admit they didn’t see you are basically admitting fault. However, there are exceptions. If the other side can prove that you ran a red light or a stop sign, or were speeding, you may be considered at fault or comparatively at fault for the accident which is a percentage of blame. An experienced motorcycle injury lawyer who rides knows motorcycle law, understands the unique physics and dynamics of riding and will protect you from false accusations by the other driver’s insurance company and prosecute your claim either against the insurance company for the wrongdoer or their lawyers.
