Understanding the Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
Left-Hand Turns
Did you know that almost half of all motorcycle accidents happen when cars are negotiating left-hand turns? Often, the driver is simply not giving their full attention.
Head-On Collisions
Head-on collisions carry a high risk for motorcyclists, simply because they lack the protective shell of a car. Such accidents can lead to severe injuries.
Lane Changes
Motorcycles, being smaller, are more likely to be overlooked in other drivers’ blind spots. So, lane-change-related crashes can occur more frequently.
Rear-End Collisions
Rear-end collisions can be particularly hazardous for motorcyclists. More often than not, they occur because the other driver was distracted and not paying full attention to the road.
Road Hazards
Even minor road hazards like potholes or uneven lanes can prove deadly for motorcyclists. If you’ve been injured because of a road hazard, don’t despair – you may be able to file a claim.
