Motorcycle Crashes

Motorcycle crashes are often the result of another driver violating the cyclist’s right-of-way — in particular at an intersection. Understanding how intersection traffic control devices operate, especially traffic signals, and where each intersection or roadway user was located in the split seconds leading up to the crash are critical. Retaining an expert witness with personal and professional motorcycle experience is also critical.

Your motorcycle crash may involve several details that will be easy to explain to a jury. However, there will also be several technical details that will be critical for the jury to know and to understand. Mr. Marceau’s expertise in pavement markings, signs, intersection and roadway design, and traffic signals, combined with his own experience as a motorcycle operator, will bring the important details in your crash to light for the jury.
