Leading Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycles are designed to travel at high speeds within a compact vehicular frame. This means that, even if you’re wearing protective equipment (and you should be), there’s a high risk of serious injury or even death if you get into an accident.

The most common causes of motorcycle accidents include vehicles changing lanes, blind spots (either for you or another driver), impairment, speeding, sudden stops, turn-related misinterpretations, and unsafe road conditions. Many of these causes happen at high speed when on a motorcycle, resulting in the driver being ejected from the handlebars and into other objects.

Most Common Accident Injuries

Concussions, fractures, and other serious injuries to the head and neck are among the most common motorcycle accident injuries. The blunt force of the impact is the primary cause.  Other common injuries include broken bones or sprains in the arms, fingers, hands, legs, and feet. In addition, there are traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), which may be impossible to fully recover from as they can sometimes cause irreversible and permanent damage. Paralysis due to the severance of the spinal column is also possible, cutting off the functionality of certain motor skills or limbs.

Do I Have a Motorcycle Accident Claim?

If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle accident and have incurred losses in any way either financially or in terms of quality of life, it’s in your best interests to reach out to a personal injury lawyer. Even if there’s a chance that you are partly at fault, an accident can be severely debilitating and damaging to you and those around you. Together, we’ll walk through your claim and determine the strength of your motorcycle accident case, pursuing your insurance provider and parties at fault to secure appropriate damages (compensation). Even if you’re unsure whether you qualify, don’t hesitate to contact our team. We’re here to clarify and help you make informed choices regarding your case.

How Will Obtaining Compensation Help Me?

Compensation makes it easier to weather the months and years ahead from a financial perspective. Costs of rehabilitation and being off work can escalate very quickly, including those for medical treatment and rehabilitation, reduced or lost income, living situations negatively impacted by the trickle-down stress of your accident, and otherwise.
