Defective Equipment

A Motorcycle Accident Attorney with Experience Handling Cases Involving Defective Equipment

Motorcycles offer little protection to a rider involved in an accident. Therefore, single bike accidents resulting from defectively designed or defectively manufactured equipment are all the more tragic. I founded The Karney Law Firm in 1979 and have successfully represented numerous riders in North and South Carolina whose injuries were caused or enhanced as a result of defective motorcycle equipment.

Make Sure an Experience Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Handles Your Case
In more than two decades of practice, I have come to understand the dangers of defective motorcycle equipment. Severe head trauma can result from a slow speed accident involving a defective helmet. Spinal cord injuries, disfigurement and amputations can result from accident s caused by brake failure. Whether a defect caused or aggravated the injuries associated with a motorcycle accident, it is important to contact an experienced attorney.

I am prepared to represent riders whose injuries were caused by a wide variety of defective equipment:

  • Motorcycle helmets and other protective gear
  • Failed brakes
  • Motorcycle tire defects
  • Defective windshields
  • Stuck throttles
  • Defective kickstands
  • Belt or chain failure
  • Shock absorber failure
  • Defects in after-market equipment

Defective equipment cases fall into an area of law commonly referred to as product liability. These can be complex and involves proving that a design defect, a manufacturing defect, a marketing defect, or a failure to warn or guard the rider caused or contributed to the accident.

I commonly rely on engineering experts, manufacturing experts, and product design experts, and medical experts to demonstrate the cause and consequences of accidents resulting from defective equipment.
