Fault is not always obvious after a motorcycle crash, and there are situations in which the rider, rather than another driver, may bear legal responsibility. Caldwell Wenzel & Asthana examines when a motorcyclist can be at fault under Alabama law and how that determination affects an injury claim.
Under Alabama’s framework, a rider’s conduct must meet the legal definition of fault or negligence before blame attaches. The firm points to examples such as riding while drunk or drug-impaired and recklessly weaving in and out of traffic, actions that can shift responsibility onto the motorcyclist in a disputed case.
The firm brings more than 25 years of diverse experience to its community and describes itself as results driven, having recovered millions in compensation for personal injury clients. Its litigation reputation is strong enough that other attorneys refer their clients to Caldwell Wenzel & Asthana when a case is headed for the courtroom.
Beyond motorcycle claims, the practice covers car accidents, pedestrian and truck accidents, birth and brain injuries, burn and neck injuries, nursing home abuse, spinal injuries, product liability, wrongful death, and a range of mass tort matters. The firm offers a free initial consultation and can be reached at (251) 444-7000.
