Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

When it comes to motorcycle accidents, the driver of the other vehicle is at fault roughly 70% of the time. Despite nationwide efforts to increase driver awareness, motorcycles still suffer from devastating accidents.

Because motorcycles offer little to no protection for the rider, many victims end up suffering from serious and even catastrophic injuries. Regardless of what caused your accident, it is a good idea to discuss the situation with our motorcycle accident lawyers.

The most common causes of motorcycle accidents include:

• Drivers failing to check blind spots
• Drivers who speed recklessly
• Cars turning left into oncoming motorcycles
• Cars changing lanes while motorcycle is lane splitting

As is true in any motor vehicle accident, assigning liability can be difficult. Here again, the experienced services of Richard | Bartlett make all the difference.

Common Types of Motorcycle Injuries

Due to the nature of motorcycle accidents, victims of motorcycle crashes will often find themselves dealing with severe injuries. Some of the most common types of motorcycle accident injuries include:

• Leg injuries - According to a report published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the most common type of leg injuries sustained in motorbike accidents are tibia and fibula fractures, although more extreme accidents can result in amputation or crush injuries
• Foot injuries - The most common foot injuries in motorcycle crashes are bone fractures, but there is also the chance of amputation or crush
• Head injuries - In motorcycle accidents head injuries are the leading cause of death or disability; common head injuries include concussions, traumatic brain injuries, internal bleeding, and comas

Many of these types of injuries can lead to lifelong disabilities and oftentimes require expensive surgeries. Sometimes they are deadly. If you have suffered a serious injury in a motorcycle accident, don't wait to pursue compensation. Contact Richard | Bartlett Lawyers today!
