A motorcycle accident is often one of the more deadly
accidents, with injuries tending to be more serious, and medical costs being
higher. Motorcyclists are often injured by negligent car drivers:
In the majority of cases, the other vehicle violated the
motorcyclist’s right-of-way and caused the accident.
Motorcycle riders are approximately 25 times more likely
to be killed in a road accident.
Motorcyclists are 5 times more likely to be injured than
a person riding in a passenger vehicle.
Nearly every motorcycle accident involves injuries. These
injuries can be quite serious, involving substantial costs and lengthy
rehabilitation. A motorcycle accident lawyer can provide you with information
about personal injury law, as well as motorcycle accident claims.
By working with experienced
motorcycle accident lawyers,

and interests are protected.

There are a wide range of causes for motorcycle accidents,
some of which include:
Limited visibility - Intersections, buildings, parked vehicles,
shrubbery, etc. 70% motorcycle accidents occur at intersections.
Invisibility of motorcyclists - The motorcyclist is undetected by other
drivers. Truck drivers are at even more risk of missing a motorcyclist – drivers
of these huge vehicles often hit blind spots and do not see the comparatively
small motorcycle, which can result in collision.
Motorcycle defects - Fuel system leaks, which present an increased risk
of fire in the post-crash phase.
Weather – Heavy rain, snow, hail, etc. can lead to decreased visibility
and hazardous driving conditions.
