Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

June 19, 2008 @ 01:58 PM — by Mitchell Proner

While there are numerous causes of motorcycle accidents,oftentimes the accident happens because car drivers don't keep a careful and proper lookout of the roadway. It is from car driver's failure to pay attentionthat the sticker "look twice, save a life," was born. Unfortunately, most human beings are creatures of habit, and as anyone who travels on the nations highways can tell you, it is becoming increasingly common for people to make sudden lane changes without even signaling, let alone looking around to see if a motorcycle rider is in their peripheral.

All too often the poor biker is hit and seriously injured, as the vehicle driver declares, "I swear officer, he came out of nowhere!"

This is one of many common scenarios when it comes to a motorcycle accident.

Other causes of a motorcycle accident include:

  • Improperly cared for streets and pavements
  • Hazardous debris and material in the roadway
  • Defective motorcycle manufacturing
  • High Speed police chases that catch cyclists in the cross hairs
  • Road rage incidents with overly aggressive drivers

Some of these motorcycle accidents can involve commercial vehicles or SUV's as well as passenger cars.

No matter the reason, or the type of vehicle involved in a motorcycle accident, a biker has the same rights under the law as any other motorist and can pursue litigation in the event of serious and life threatening injury due to no fault of his own.
