What Causes Motorcycle Accidents?

One of the most common causes of motorcycle accidents is the oblivious actions of other people on the road. All too often, a driver of a car will hit a biker by doing one of the following:

  • Changing lanes without looking and hitting a biker
  • Failing to yield right of way and pulling out in front of a biker
  • Tailgating and hitting bikers when they stop
  • Forcing a biker to drive into oncoming traffic or off the road due to inattentive driving

The road is dangerous for motorcycle riders especially. If you are hurt or a loved one is killed while riding a motorcycle due to the inattentiveness or negligence of someone else, contact us so we can help you to get what you need to recover.
