Motorcycle Defects and Recalls in Tempe

Like any other type of modern vehicle, motorcycles are immensely complex machines made up of thousands of interconnected parts, and a flaw in even one of those parts can lead to the entire vehicle not functioning properly. Unfortunately, sometimes, the point at which a motorcycle stops working correctly occurs when that motorcycle is in motion on a major highway, which can lead to serious accidents for which the motorcycle’s manufacturer may be civilly liable.

In order to protect themselves from having to pay out for these kinds of injuries, manufacturers often issue recall notices to consumers once they learn of a serious defect in one of their products. However, as any seasoned motorcycle injury lawyer knows, litigation based around motorcycle defects and recalls in Tempe is rarely quite as simple as that. You may still have grounds to file suit over a defect-related injury even if a recall notice has already gone out for that flaw.

What Kinds of Defects Can Justify a Lawsuit?

Manufacturers in the United States are expected to ensure every product they make and sell is free of serious defects in design, manufacturing, and marketing before the product leaves their direct control. They can be held strictly liable for any injuries stemming from their failure to meet this expectation. What this means in practice is that if a company sells a motorcycle with a dangerous flaw in it, they are theoretically always liable for injuries caused by that flaw, as long as those injuries occurred while a consumer was using the product reasonably for its intended purpose.

Notably, if a manufacturer has already issued a recall notice for a particular motorcycle defect, anyone in Tempe who gets injured by that defect after being notified of the recall generally will not have valid grounds to file suit over that injury. That said, manufacturers are not always diligent about conducting recalls as required by federal law, so it may be worth discussing legal options with a skilled attorney.

Recovering for Short-Term and Long-Term Losses

Much like any other kind of personal injury litigation, it is possible to recover for economic and non-economic losses through a successful product liability claim filed over a motorcycle defect or recall in Tempe. While every claim is unique, just like every injured plaintiff is, examples of damages that often play a role in claims like this include:

• Emergency medical expenses and expected costs of future care
• Physical pain and suffering
• Expenses stemming from personal property damage, including costs of repairing/replacing a damaged motorcycle
• Emotional anguish and trauma
• Lost work income and future earning capacity
• Lost enjoyment of life

I felt they were more my friends than my personal injury lawyer and that isn't something you're taught it's something you have inside. If I ever needed a lawyer again Phillips Law Group Injury Lawyers would be my only choice. I can't recommend them enough. They are professional on every level and compassionate throughout. Thank you for everything.

When in pain because of an accident all you want to do is focus on getting better and that is what did thanks to this firm. My family and I were set up with a Dr and Chiro right away. The treatment we received was great. I am extremely thankful for all the help we received and the outcome on the cases. Thanks to everyone involved on my case. A special thanks the intake specialist Rosalba who was very kind on the phone when I first called. I highly recommend this firm to anyone, they treat you like family.

I am so thankful for Ruthann and Maria. They both were amazing throughout the process. When Maria took over my case, I felt like I was being treated with empathy about my pain and experiences while treating. She also made sure to answer my questions. Maria always responded to my communication attempts and answered questions I had as they came up. She helped me with things I needed in regards to my case and helped ease the anxiety as bills piled up and my injuries were still being treated. I was able to contact her as I was treating and she helped find providers closer to my home to make it more accommodating for me. This helped me juggle work...

What can I say about Phillips Law group. I was involved in a major car accident and sustained injuries. I looked up for Law Firms in Arizona and stumbled across Phillips Law Group. I decided to give them a call about my accident, and they were very respectful and took in my case immediately. They assigned me Tim LeDuc to represent me. From the beginning, he was very responsive and made sure to give me the proper care I deserved from this accident. Him and his team fought tooth and nail to give me the best settlement I deserved. I am so thankful, and I highly recommend Phillips Law Group to represent anyone who has been in any accident and...

My case closed yesterday and I RAN to make this review because of how exceptional my experience has been with Phillips Law Group! I received the best settlement I could've hoped for and am extremely happy with the outcome; but I especially wanted to shout out and give praise to Julianna, the Litigation Paralegal on my case. From the moment Julianna was assigned to my case almost two years ago, until the completion of the settlement process yesterday, Julianna's commitment to exceptional customer service, clear communication, and unwavering support truly stood out. I had so many questions -- from the legal process, to where to seek medical treatment, to questions about medical bills, to the negotiation process, and more --...

I am very impressed by how much care and effort this group puts into helping the homeless. That’s not something you see enough, especially in this time of increasing need for community. It’s important to me to work with companies that align with my views, and I would definitely go to Phillips for any future personal injury lawyer needs.

Just would like to share my experience with Phillips And Associates. Ever since my accident in the first of the year, it was a life changing event for me and I finally decided to go with a personal injury attorney. I contacted Phillips And Associates and they made me feel like I was an actual person instead of a lot of other firms try to go with me like a number, Phillips And Associates has reached out to me in a kind, courteous and caring way they fully understand on the circumstances of the accident So far, Phillips And Associates has been absolutely wonderful. I truly recommend going with Phillips And Associates. Thanks (RuthAnn), your the Best!!! And Thank you...

Once again, a seasoned lawyer can help identify losses that should be factored into a specific lawsuit or settlement demand and proactively demand a fair amount of restitution for all of them.

As a consumer, you have a right to expect that everything you buy from a manufacturer is reasonably safe to use as directed. In reality, however, that right is all too often infringed upon, and when that happens with something as potentially deadly as a motorcycle, the results of an unaddressed defect can be nothing short of catastrophic.
