Manufacturers of motorcycles are responsible for making sure that defective parts do not make it into their products. If a motorcycle kickstand is defective, riders may become pinned under a heavy bike or suffer other injuries. Even if the parts are not defective, poor design can lead to similar accidents. For example, a kickstand must be designed and built in such a way as to support the motorcycle and not to lose its effectiveness with repeated use. If defective parts or poor design have caused you or a loved one to be involved in a motorcycle kickstand accident.
