Motorcycle and ATV Accident Representation Available in Mitchell

Holding Negligent Drivers and Manufacturers Accountable

Brookings residents choose motorcycle and ATV accident attorneys because these crashes often result in severe injuries, including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, fractures, and road rash. Unlike passenger vehicle accidents, riders have little protection, making even low-speed collisions potentially catastrophic. Driver negligence, road hazards, equipment defects, and hit-and-run incidents all contribute to the high rate of serious injuries among motorcyclists and ATV riders in South Dakota.

Radke Law Office P.C. provides legal support for victims of motorcycle and ATV accidents, investigating every aspect of the crash to determine liability and pursue full compensation. Whether the accident was caused by a distracted driver, a poorly maintained roadway, a defective helmet or ATV part, or a driver who fled the scene, the firm works to hold all responsible parties accountable. Mitchell's location along major highways and rural roads means both highway collisions and off-road accidents are common, and each type of crash requires a different investigative approach.

Investigating Driver Negligence and Road Hazard Claims

Driver negligence remains the leading cause of motorcycle accidents, often involving failure to yield, distracted driving, speeding, or driving under the influence. Motorcycles and ATVs are less visible than cars, and many crashes occur when drivers fail to check blind spots or misjudge distances. Road hazards such as gravel, potholes, uneven pavement, and lack of proper signage can also cause riders to lose control, particularly on rural roads and highways around Mitchell.

Proving negligence in these cases requires gathering evidence quickly, including police reports, witness statements, photographs of the scene, and sometimes accident reconstruction analysis. Road hazard cases may involve claims against government entities responsible for maintenance, which have strict notice and filing deadlines. Equipment defect claims require expert analysis of helmets, protective gear, or ATV components that failed. The legal team handles all aspects of investigation, expert consultation, and claim filing to ensure that your case is built on solid evidence and presented effectively.
