A single-vehicle motorcycle crash usually means no other driver to blame, but Stinson Law Group P.C. built a case around exactly that scenario in Northern Wyoming, where a client named Jeff was riding his Harley-Davidson during a charity toy run when he hit an abrupt, unmarked transition from dirt to asphalt in a construction zone. The firm’s case study on the matter walks through how a single-vehicle designation, which typically limits recovery options, did not close off every avenue for compensation.
Stinson Law Group’s investigation found that the construction company had placed traffic signs improperly and used signage that did not meet uniform traffic safety device standards, leaving Jeff without adequate warning about the sudden change in road surface. The firm leveraged the construction company’s state contract, which required the company to take all necessary steps to protect public safety, as leverage in negotiations. After presenting evidence directly to the construction company’s insurance adjusters through mediation, the firm secured what it describes as a substantial settlement on Jeff’s behalf.
The case illustrates a point that applies well beyond construction zones: a crash without a second vehicle involved is not automatically a dead end for a claim, since a third party such as a contractor, a municipality, or a property owner can still bear legal responsibility if their negligence created the hazard that caused the wreck.
