Las motocicletas recorren las mismas carreteras y autopistas que otros vehículos y están sujetas a los mismos peligros. Cuando una motocicleta se involucra en un accidente; no obstante, los resultados pueden ser exponencialmente peores que un accidente que involucra automóviles o camiones. Los conductores de automóviles tienen un marco de acero e innumerables características de seguridad, como cinturones de seguridad y bolsas de aire para protegerlos en caso de accidente.
Los conductores de motocicletas son mucho más vulnerables y tienen 35 por ciento de más probabilidades de sufrir lesiones fatales durante un accidente que otros conductores. Es por eso que es imperativo que se comunique con un abogado de accidentes de motocicleta en New Jersey, si ha estado involucrado en algún tipo de incidente. In English.
Causas de Accidentes en Motocicletas
- Condiciones Adversas en Carreteras: los automóviles pueden adaptarse fácilmente a baches o hoyos, carreteras deformadas o desiguales, escombros o superficies resbaladizas, pero estas condiciones pueden hacer que una motocicleta pierda el control fácilmente
- Disminución de la Visibilidad: las motocicletas pueden ser difíciles de ver, especialmente en las intersecciones, lo que dificulta que los automóviles puedan evitarlas
- Inestabilidad: los vehículos con solo dos ruedas pueden ser más difíciles de controlar, especialmente cuando se ajustan a paradas repentinas o cambios en el flujo de tráfico
- Falta de Elementos de Seguridad Vial: los conductores de motocicletas a menudo tienen sólo un casco y la ropa que usan para suavizar el impacto de un accidente
- Comportamientos o Conducta Riesgosa: el exceso de velocidad, el uso compartido de carriles y otros comportamientos peligrosos de los conductores pueden afectar de manera desproporcionada a las motocicletas
Prevención de Accidentes de Motocicletas
Hay pasos que los conductores de motocicletas pueden tomar para minimizar el riesgo de un accidente. Los motociclistas en New Jersey deben usar un casco no reflectante con cuatro pulgadas de cinta reflectante en ambos lados. Si el casco no tiene una pantalla contra el viento, los conductores también deben usar gafas o protector facial. Los conductores de motocicletas también deben usar equipos de protección personal bien ajustados, como trajes de montar de cuero que puedan minimizar el riesgo de “erupción en la carretera”. Su ropa no debe tener ninguna tela suelta que pueda engancharse en los engranajes y debe incorporar colores brillantes para aumentar la visibilidad.
Los conductores de motocicletas deben tener una licencia de motocicleta válida de New Jersey, y sus vehículos deben estar asegurados para ser llevados en la carretera. New Jersey también requiere inspecciones periódicas para garantizar que la motocicleta esté funcionando correctamente y cumpla con las especificaciones establecidas por la Administración Nacional de Seguridad del Tráfico en Carreteras (NHTSA) y la Agencia de Protección Ambiental (EPA).
¿Quién es Responsable en un Accidente de Motocicleta?
La mayoría de los accidentes con motocicletas no son causados por motociclistas. Estos accidentes generalmente son causados por conductores de automóviles o camiones que no prestan atención a su entorno. Los conductores de automóviles deben seguir todas las normas de tránsito y verificar la presencia de otros vehículos, incluidas las motocicletas. Si no lo hacen, pueden ser responsables de cualquier lesión que se produzca como resultado de un accidente.
En algunos casos, la propia motocicleta puede ser la causa del accidente. Si las piezas están defectuosas o ensambladas incorrectamente, la motocicleta puede fallar mientras está en la carretera. También puede haber fallas en el diseño de la motocicleta, lo que puede poner en riesgo a los conductores.
Todos los conductores tienen la responsabilidad de exhibir conductas de manejo seguras, pero los riesgos son aún mayores cuando se trata de motocicletas. Según la NHTSA y los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC), el 80 por ciento de los accidentes de motocicleta causan lesiones graves o fatales. El número de muertes por accidentes de motocicleta también ha aumentado, duplicándose en el transcurso de una década.

Testimonial from Paul D. -
My case settled recently after lasting 4 years. Grungo and Colarulo’s law firm were able to secure a large settlement award for my slip and fall accident. This money will help secure my future for the permanent injury I received as a result of the slip and fall. Everyone was very caring, and kept me informed throughout the entire process. Christine Lafferty is an excellent litigation lawyer. I highly recommend using them if you have been injured or in an accident. I hope I am never in a situation again to need their services, but I know who to go to if I, or any of my family members are ever injured. Thanks Grungo and Colarulo and staff for your compassionate service!

My wife and I reached out to Grungo Colarulo in 2020 for advise on a legal matter. After a meeting with the Attorney and Paralegal, we decided to go forward with a case. This case required a lot of documentation, and expert review of the documentation which was aquired. Throughout the process, we were kept up to date monthly, and Grungo Colarulo was always responsive to any questions that we had. The entire staff at Grungo Colarulo are very professional, caring, and willing to go the extra mile. This firm is a definite recommend!

Testimonial from Aminah M. -
A dear family friend referred us to a young attorney named Rich Grungo, Jr. We wanted answers and if necessary, justice for our father. From day one of a five-year journey, Mr. Rich Grungo, Jr. made our family and our pain his own. The man never stopped working for us. He kept us informed every step of the way. Questions were answered quickly and with great compassion and expertise. Even though Rich was always busy, he was never too busy for us. We always felt like we were his only clients
Testimonial from Mickey -
I had the opportunity to observe Mr. Grungo work in this case, both in the courtroom on the technical matters of the motions and also as his presentation to the jury in opening and presenting witnesses as well as utilizing animations… and drawings and films that were necessary for a proper understanding of the case…At all times during the presentation, Mr. Grungo operated mostly without notes and questioned the witnesses in a conversational manner which made it most effective. **
