Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycles are popular modes of transportation, and have become even more so during recent years with the rising price of gasoline making efficient motorcycles more popular choices for people. Unfortunately, motorcycle accidents are very dangerous, resulting in serious accidents, including brain injury, spine injury, serious abrasion, and amputation injury.
About three-quarters of motorcycle accidents are related to another vehicle (more than 80% are passenger cars). In 78% of fatal motorcycle accidents, the point of impact is at the front of the motorcycle. Most often, the vehicle turns into the path of the oncoming motorcycle. This is more likely when the car is making a left-hand turn in front of the motorcycle.
While only about a quarter of motorcycle accidents do not involve another vehicle, these accidents are serious, and preventable. Most single-bike accidents are due to rider inexperience on their bike. Most motorcycle accident victims reportedly had less than five months on this particular bike. However, a recent study suggests that motorcycle training may not reduce motorcycle accident risk. Perhaps the only way to gain experience is to be out on the road on your bike. It is important to be careful during your learning period to avoid suffering serious injury as a result of a motorcycle accident.
If you suffered a motorcycle accident injury due to the fault of another driver, an injury lawyer may be able to help you get compensation.
