Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accidents occur in the blink of an eye and are often caused by the negligence of another driver. As motorcycles are smaller vehicles, they can be more difficult for other drivers to see. Motorcycle accidents often occur when other drivers change lanes and collide with a motorcyclist who may have been in their “blind spot”. Another common cause of motorcycle accidents is when a vehicle makes a left turn into the motorcycle rider’s path of travel, either causing a collision between the motorcycle and other vehicle or causing the motorcyclist to lose control in their attempt to avoid a collision. Motorcycle accidents can also occur if another driver fails to stop for traffic and rear-ends the motorcyclist in front of them. Often, the most serious injuries suffered in motorcycle accidents result from head-on collisions.
No matter the cause of the collision, due to the nature of motorcycle riding and the relative lack of protection, the injuries suffered by the rider can be very serious.
What To Do If You Have Been Injured in a Motorcycle Accident
If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident involving one or more other drivers, it is important to get as much information about the other driver(s) as possible (name, drivers license, contact information, insurance information, etc.). If there were witnesses to the collision, be sure to get contact information for those witnesses (maybe ask for their business card). Take photographs at the collision scene and pay particular attention to documenting the damage to any/all vehicles involved. Seek immediate medical care (emergency room, urgent care, primary care doctor, etc.). Finally, contact a personal injury attorney with experience representing motorcycle accident victims - The Tomalas Law Firm has over 40 years of representing motorcycle accident victims.
