Leading Causes Of Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle crashes are often caused by the negligence of other drivers who fail to take appropriate precautions. Common causes include:
- Motorists not checking blind spots
- Distracted or impaired driving
- Speeding or aggressive driving
- Poor road conditions, such as potholes or debris
- Vehicles making left-hand turns without yielding
Motorcycles leave operators especially vulnerable in a crash, as they lack the protective structure other vehicles provide. This vulnerability makes it critical to determine the cause of the accident and hold the responsible party accountable.
Differences Between Motorcycle And Car Accidents
While all vehicle crashes can lead to serious injuries, motorcycle accidents are far more dangerous for the rider. Motorcyclists lack the protection of a vehicle’s frame, airbags and seatbelts, which means they are more likely to suffer life-threatening injuries in a crash.
Additionally, motorcycles are smaller and harder to see, often leading to accidents where a car driver simply didn’t notice the rider. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), motorcyclists are 22 times more likely to die in an accident than occupants of passenger vehicles.
How A Motorcycle Accident Attorney Can Help
Accident claims are often complicated by the tendency of insurers to blame the rider, regardless of fault. As your advocate, I will:
- Investigate the accident to identify liable parties
- Gather evidence, including police reports, witness statements and testimony
- Negotiate with insurance companies to reach a fair settlement
- Represent you in court if necessary
As your lawyer, I am committed to fighting for the justice and compensation you deserve.
