Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
The Manhattan motorcycle accident lawyers at Proner & Proner are extremely knowledgeable when it comes to the causes of many motorcycle crashes.

Far too often people miss out on the opportunity to be awarded monetary damages due to ignorance. For instance, most do not know that one of the most common causes of motorcycle crashes outside of driver error is defective motorcycle products. Brakes, handlebars, wheels, and engines can be faulty and cause permanent injury or death.
However, if an individual is unaware of this potential problem they may not attribute their accident to defective motorcycle products. Experienced motorcycle accident lawyers know what to look for in such cases and will be able to determine if faulty parts are the culprit. The injured party and/or their family may then be able to sue the bike manufacturer as well as any other contributory party. This increases the likelihood of monetary awards that will pay for medical costs and lost wages.
Other causes of motorcycle crashes include weather, driver error, hazardous road conditions, and distracted driving. Another common contributor is speeding and weaving in and out of traffic. Both passenger car drivers and motorcyclists are guilty of this dangerous driving behavior, especially in New York when traffic and gridlock can unravel already frayed nerves.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure so motorcycle riders can greatly decrease their risks of being in motorcycle crashes by keeping with the flow of traffic no matter how tempted they are to ride the shoulder lanes.
