Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
Many things cause motorcycle wrecks, but the most common is driver negligence. Motorcycles are harder to see because of their smaller size, but drivers must notice all vehicles.
Negligent driving can take many forms, including:
- Driving while distracted or overly tired, or otherwise failing to pay attention
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Driving aggressively, either by speeding, failing to yield, tailgating, or driving dangerously
- Swerving in front of, or otherwise cutting off, a motorcyclist at an intersection or on the highway
Another main cause of wrecks is car drivers failing to yield the right of way. Drivers often misjudge a motorcycle’s speed or distance in the oncoming lane when turning left, which leads to many of these accidents.
If you’re driving a car, watch for motorcycles—your vigilance could save a life.
Compensation Available to Midwest Motorcycle Riders
Since motorcyclists do not have the protection afforded to motorists riding in trucks and cars, riders can potentially sustain severe injuries in collisions with larger vehicles.
The damages a claimant seeks will depend upon the severity of the accident and their injuries.
The plaintiff could seek compensation for issues which may include:
- Pain and suffering
- Lost past and future wages
- Decreased quality of life
- Mental anguish
- Past and future medical expenses
Motorcyclists in more severe accidents might also seek damages for pain medications, home modifications, a home aide, convalescent care, or other expenses. If the crash resulted in a fatality, a compassionate attorney could help the family bring a wrongful death claim on behalf of the rider.
