Types of Motorcycle Accidents in Jackson

Like accidents involving other types of vehicles, motorcycle crashes can take a variety of forms. Some of the most common types of motorcycle accidents we see in Jackson include:

Head-On Collisions

Head-on collisions involving motorcycles can be devastating. Motorcyclists often wear little more than helmets to protect themselves during accidents. As a result, they are likely to suffer severe injuries that require immediate and long-term care.

Left Turn Accidents

There are many instances where motorcyclists sustain severe injuries in crashes due to drivers who irresponsibly pull into their paths while making left turns at intersections. Riders are forced to take evasive actions to avoid collisions whenever possible. However, there are many instances where riders are unable to do so.

Broadside Collisions

Broadside collisions, or T-bone crashes, are some of the most dangerous types of crashes that take place. Motorcyclists who are broadsided may be ejected from their vehicles or pinned between their vehicle and the striking vehicle. Victims involved in these accidents are likely to suffer severe and life-altering injuries that require immediate medical care.

Rear-End Collisions

Motorcyclists are often harmed in crashes by drivers who follow too closely. When drivers fail to observe how much space they have between their vehicles and motorcycles ahead of them, they are likely to crash into them at intersections and due to motorcyclists slowing down or stopping. Rear-end crashes can result in ejection and severe injuries for riders.

Regardless of the type of accident you were harmed in, it is crucial that you seek the guidance of a skilled motorcycle accident attorney in Jackson as soon as possible. You may be entitled to compensation that you can use to cover various damages you face as a result of your accident.

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in Jackson

Motorcycle accidents take place at an alarming rate in Jackson and throughout the state of Mississippi. These accidents can often be attributed to some form of negligence. Some of the leading causes of motorcycle accidents in Jackson that we help victims recover from include those involving:

  • Drivers who turn without signaling or checking parallel lanes.
  • Drivers who make lane changes without checking for vehicles traveling beside them.
  • Misjudging the distance of a motorcycle before turning in front of them.
  • Sharing lanes with motorcycles.
  • Passing motorcycles too closely.
  • Speeding.
  • Engaging in aggressive driving actions.
  • Drivers who run red lights or pass stop signs.

  • Debris left in roadways.
  • Drivers who are drowsy and/or fall asleep behind the wheel.

The majority of motorcycle accidents take place as a result of negligent drivers sharing the road. Although motorcycles are often stereotyped as being negligent, the majority of riders are extremely responsible and considerate. Motorcyclists are not able to control how others sharing the road act.
