Now that the good weather has finally come, the call of the
open road is beckoning. For many people this means motorcycles. Once the
province of Hells Angels and other motorcycle clubs, the increasing cost of gas as well as
the feeling of freedom, have made motorcycles more mainstream. With this shift,
has come an increased need for more motorcycles to buy and more motorcycles to
repair, and the area of motorcycle products liability litigation has risen
exponentially. So what kinds of defects are there? And whom do you sue? For the
answers to these and more, the new volume of Am Jur Trials has a new article on
this very subject. It has case intake and investigation, sample pleadings,
discovery and trial documents to get you started. It also directs you to other
secondary sources to expand your research. Material such as “Proof of defect in
design and/or manufacture of motorcycle”, 125 Am Jur Proof of facts, 3rd
197 and “Cause of action in strict tort liability for injury caused by
defective motorcycle”, 20 Causes of Action 711. These books, along with many
others, can be borrowed from your local Trial Court law library.
