To avoid accidents, motor vehicle drivers need to learn to share the roads safely with motorcycles. Crashes often occur when careless car drivers fail to see a motorcycle because they do not expect to see one or because the smaller-sized motorcycle gets lost in the driver’s blind spot. Frequently, car drivers make careless driving mistakes when they are speeding, distracted, or drunk. At other times, crashes happen when drivers fail to recognize and respect that motorcyclists have certain rights on the road.
Crashes can occur when aggressive drivers tailgate motorcyclists or try to push them out of their lanes. A local motorcycle crash attorney would work diligently to protect the rights of an injured motorcyclist and help them get the legal and financial help they deserve following an accident. A local attorney could review motorcycle crash photos, traffic camera footage, interview eyewitnesses, and review relevant police reports try to determine what happened and who could bear legal responsibility.
When cars hit motorcycles, the motorcyclists often suffer serious injuries, which can sometimes lead to death. Unlike car to car accidents, where the vehicles themselves absorb some of the impacts of a crash, when a car hits a motorcycle, there is no buffer to protect the rider from the collision. The resulting injuries are often devastating and catastrophic. After a motorcycle crash, it is not uncommon for motorcyclists to sustain the following injuries:
