What Happens When a Left-Turning Vehicle Causes a Fatal Motorcycle Crash in NJ?
Left-turn crashes are among the most common causes of serious motorcycle collisions, since drivers turning across oncoming traffic often misjudge a motorcycle’s speed or fail to see it at all due to its smaller profile.
Being ejected from a motorcycle commonly results in catastrophic injuries such as traumatic brain injury, spinal damage, or fatal internal injuries, since riders have no structural protection comparable to a vehicle’s frame. Even motorcyclists who wear proper safety gear face serious risk in left-turn collisions, given the speeds typical of a highway like Route 33.
New Jersey’s wrongful death statute gives a personal representative of the estate two years from the date of death to file a claim, generally on behalf of a surviving spouse, children, or other dependents, separate from any survival action addressing the pain the victim experienced before death.
In these cases, a wrongful death lawyer can work to secure evidence specific to left-turn cases, such as traffic signal timing data, witness statements, and any available dashcam or surveillance footage from nearby businesses.
