Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
Despite the reputation for being aggressive or reckless, motorcycle riders
are often the most observant and aware drivers on the road. Many accidents
are not caused by riders but by other drivers who are not paying attention
or are negligent on the road.
Common causes of motorcycle accidents include:
- Running red lights or stop signs without noticing the approaching motorcycle
- Failure to yield right-of-way to the motorcycle
- Failure to check blind spots before changing lanes
- Driving while distracted
- Driving above the speed limit
After an accident, you will need to contact law enforcement, take a moment
to collect the following information, and contact our office:
- Statements and contact information from witnesses
- Evidence photos and information at the scene including anything in the
road that may have contributed to the accident
- Photos of skid marks and of the vehicle(s)
- Photos of your bike and the position it is on the road
If you are unsure of what to do or are not able to collect the information
yourself, you can have a friend or witness call our team to discuss what
to collect.
