Motorcycle Accident
Motorcycles are fun, efficient and economical vehicles to drive. However, riding a motorcycle can be dangerous. Since motorcycles lack the physical protection cars offer, drivers and passengers are much more exposed than any other motor vehicle operator, and the injuries they suffer in accidents can often be severe, catastrophic and life-altering. Broken bones, amputation, dismemberment, burns, scars, brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and even death are not uncommon.
One problem facing motorcycle riders is that motorcycles are much smaller than cars and trucks and are sometimes not seen by the other driver until it is too late to avoid an accident. (But the most common cause of motorcycle accidents is simple driver inattention.) Other typical motorcycle accident causes include:
- Failure to yield the right of way
- Rear-end collisions
- U-turns
- Sudden lane changes
- Road hazards
- Road defects
