Negligent Drivers
The number one cause of accidents involving a car vs. a motorcycle is failure to observe the motorcycle’s right of way, typically at intersections where the car makes a left-hand turn into the path of the motorcycle. The number one excuse that drivers give for hitting motorcyclists is that they did not see the motorcycle.
Defective Roadways
Motorcycles are very susceptible to roadway defects such as gravel or debris left on the road, potholes and other damage which is not repaired in a timely fashion, and defective road design.
In the event of an accident, motorcycle operators and riders are extremely vulnerable to roadway crashworthiness defects, such as lack of breakaway mechanisms on light and sign posts.
Severe Injuries
Severe injuries common in motorcycle accidents include:
- Brain injury
- Spinal cord injury
- Amputations
