Motorcycle Injury Accidents Involving Vehicles

Negligent drivers can significantly increase the risk of a significant injury in a motorcycle collision. The main causes that contribute to these accidents include:

• Driving while impaired: Alcohol and drugs affect reaction time and judgment, which are important for safe driving.
• Speeding: Excessive speeds reduce a driver’s ability to react in time to avoid a motorcycle, especially in sudden traffic changes.
• Distracted driving: Activities like texting, eating, or adjusting the radio distract drivers from the road, making it difficult to notice motorcyclists.
• Failure to check blind spots: Motorcycles are smaller and can easily be hidden in a car’s blind spots, leading to collisions during lane changes or turns.
• Ignoring traffic signals: Running red lights or failing to yield the right of way can result in high-impact crashes involving motorcycles.
• Tailgating: Tailgaters do not have enough space to stop in an emergency, increasing the likelihood of rear-end collisions with motorcycles.
