Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
Whether another vehicle doesn’t see you, or your bike malfunctions and you collide with a stationary object, there are plenty of things that could go wrong and cause you to crash. Common reasons for a crash include:
- Motorcycle or part defects: Whether a manufacturer built a part incorrectly or an aspect of the bike was designed without proper safety features, these mistakes could lead to serious injuries.
- Road hazards: Construction zones often create dangerous situations for those driving by, especially if debris litters the road, making it slick. Or, poorly maintained roads with potholes or obstructions could cause a motorcycle rider to swerve and lose control of their bike.
- Head-on collisions: If another vehicle, usually a car, crosses over from opposing traffic, or makes a wrong turn, it could result in a serious head-on collision.
- Lane splitting accidents: Motorcycles often split lanes to move more freely through traffic, but if other vehicles and trucks are not looking and make a sudden move or jerk their steering wheel at the wrong time, it could result in serious injury to the motorcyclist.
- Left turn accidents: When vehicles make left turns, there is typically a blind spot on the inside where motorcyclists may get trapped, especially if the motorcyclist intended to drive straight rather than turning.
- Door collisions: Incidents involving passenger vehicle doors happen all too often, especially on busy streets. If someone in a parked car opens their door towards the street without looking, motorcyclists driving by may get caught by the door, resulting in a potentially damaging collision.
