What Other Drivers Do to Cause Motorcycle Accidents

Many motorcycle accidents are not caused by a reckless rider. Instead, a negligent driver who is not paying enough attention is the root cause of thousands of motorcycle accidents each year. We want to investigate your case as much as we can to find a way to prove that the other motorist was the cause of it.

Drivers can cause a motorcycle accident if they:

• Don’t check before turning: Drivers who turn left in front of an approaching motorcycle are menaces to riders everywhere. Drivers usually look for two headlights on opposing lanes of traffic. Seeing a motorcycle with one headlight can cause the driver to effectively “look right through” it.
• Merge without checking mirrors: Lane changes and merges can be dangerous when a driver has not paid enough attention to their surroundings for smaller motorcycles that can more easily disappear in a blind spot.
• Speed: Speeding drivers are a danger to motorcyclists stopped at red light intersections. It can be difficult to notice a stopped motorcycle, so drivers assume they have more stopping room than they actually do.

Other Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents do not always involve a reckless driver. As you might know already, some are caused by other outside forces and acts of negligence.

We can help you if your motorcycle accident was caused by:

• Motorcycle defect: A defective motorcycle part can be the one thing that causes a wipe-out. Brake and tire issues are particularly dangerous for motorcyclists who can lose balance in an instant if there is a problem with these parts.
• Poor road conditions: Hitting a pothole or riding over loose debris in the road can be enough to cause a motorcycle accident. The municipality in charge of maintaining safe roads could be liable for your damages if the argument can be made that they were negligent in this duty.

How to Limit Your Liability for a Crash

Your liability for a motorcycle accident should be reduced if you were wearing your helmet and were not lane-splitting at the time of the crash. Helmet cam footage can prove that you were adhering to both of these rules for the road. Let our team know if such footage exists.

You can also reduce your liability for your injuries if you see a doctor immediately after being in a crash. Letting your injuries go untreated for days will give the defending insurance company a chance to say that your injuries have been exaggerated or were caused by an accident other than the motorcycle crash in question.
