Motorcycle Accident Causes

The Most Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

Traveling by motorcycle is inherently risky; in addition to the road hazards that every motorist encounters, motorcyclists must face a number of unique threats to their safety. A motorcyclist is particularly vulnerable to weather conditions, vehicular malfunction, motorist error, and other factors that can contribute to a devastating accident. If you have suffered personal injury in a motorcycle accident, you need an attorney who is well versed in motorcycle accident law, including the factors that caused the accident. At Proner & Proner, our motorcycle accident attorneys serve clients from throughout the United States, providing expert legal counsel and aggressive representation. We will work diligently to ensure that the appropriate parties are held responsible in our pursuit of compensation for your injuries.

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

A motorcycle accident can occur for any number of reasons. In addition to the hazards faced by the operator of any motor vehicle, such as unsafe road and weather conditions, other drivers’ actions, and vehicle malfunction, motorcyclists face many additional hazards, including:

Motorists’ Actions

The safety of motorcyclists is often compromised by the careless or reckless actions of truck, automobile, and commercial vehicle drivers. The failure of these motorists to notice motorcycles on the road causes many motorcycle accidents each year.

Other Motorcyclists’ Actions

Motorcyclists enjoy unique freedoms on the road, including the ability to share the lane with other motorcyclists and travel between cars to change lanes. However, a motorcyclist’s failure to pay attention to other cyclists on the road can cause a devastating accident.

Dangerous Road Conditions

Hazardous road conditions are especially dangerous for motorcyclists, since motorcycles offer no protection in an accident. Inclement weather, slippery roads, gravel, potholes, and other factors can cause a motorcyclist to lose control of the bike, resulting in a devastating single- or multiple-vehicle motorcycle accident.

Defective Motorcycle Products

Like automobiles, motorcycles must be designed and manufactured well in order to be safe. Defective motorcycle products such as defective handlebars, wheels, tires, and fuel lines can cause devastating injury on the road.

Unsafe Motorcycle Handling

Motorcyclists themselves are responsible for handling their bikes in ways that prevent accidents. Speeding, failing to wear a helmet, switching lanes without signaling, and other unsafe driving practices can cause a motorcycle accident. If you or a loved one has suffered personal injury in a motorcycle accident, an attorney can help. The law firm of Proner & Proner provides outstanding representation to motorcycle accident victims nationwide. Contact Proner & Proner today to schedule a free case evaluation.
