Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accidents often result from the negligence of another driver. Common negligent actions include:
Failing to yield the right of way
Cutting off a motorcyclist at an intersection
Swerving or changing lanes without checking blind spots
Tailgating or following too closely
Speeding or reckless driving
Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
Failing to see motorcycles due to distracted driving or poor visibility
Because motorcycles offer little protection compared to passenger vehicles, riders are far more likely to suffer serious injuries in a crash. These injuries may include:
Bone fractures
Spinal cord injuries
Head trauma and traumatic brain injury
Paralysis
Amputations
Neck and back injuries
Disfigurement
Fatal injuries

Determining Responsibility
Identifying who is legally responsible for a motorcycle accident is critical. This often requires a thorough investigation—especially if the injured motorcyclist was unconscious or unable to recall the events leading to the crash.
While the negligence of another driver is a common cause, other parties may also share liability. A qualified motorcycle accident attorney can help uncover additional responsible parties, which may include:
The motorcycle rental company
The manufacturer of the motorcycle or its parts
A repair shop responsible for vehicle maintenance or inspection
The designer or manufacturer of safety gear (e.g., helmets)
A government entity responsible for road maintenance or design
The at-fault driver or other motorists involved
Why You Need a Motorcycle Accident Attorney
Although it may be tempting to handle your claim on your own, motorcycle accident cases are often complex and involve multiple layers of liability. An experienced attorney can help you:
Investigate the cause of the accident
Identify all potentially liable parties
Evaluate your medical records and injuries
Handle insurance communications and negotiations
Pursue maximum compensation for your damages
If a loved one was fatally injured, you may also be eligible to file a wrongful death claim seeking damages for funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and emotional suffering.
