Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

In many cases, motorcycle accidents are caused by another party's negligent actions or inactions, product or manufacturing defects, hazards on the road, etc. The following are factors that often result in motorcycle injuries:

• Poor weather like rain, snow, strong winds, and hail.
• Defective motorcycle parts, such as tires, shocks, or careless maintenance.
• Vision obstructions such as buildings or traffic that make motorcyclists less visible to other drivers.
• Violation of a motorcyclists right of way.
• Other driver's failure to comply with traffic laws.
• Road hazards including debris, potholes, puddles, and uneven pavement.

The consequences of a motorcycle accident are usually severe—nearly 80 percent of all cases end in serious injury or death. The most frequent motorcycle injuries include head & brain injuries, internal organ damage, bone fractures, loss of limbs, permanent disability such as paraplegia and quadriplegia, long-term damage to soft tissue and skin (road rash).
