Motorcycle accident injuries and fatalities are on the rise. Motorcycle accidents often result in serious and catastrophic injury claims as well as wrongful death claims. Recent National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports indicate approximately 5,000 motorcyclists die each year. Statistics show that about half of all motorcycles involved in a fatal crash collided with another vehicle.
Despite traffic laws designed to protect motorcycle riders, many motor vehicle drivers do not respect or are not aware of the motorcyclist’s rights to share the road. Often times, a motorcycle accident results from a motorist’s negligence or inattentiveness while operating his or her vehicle. Vehicle drivers often turn directly in front of or in the path of the motorcycle. Drivers fail to yield at the intersection to the motorcyclist. Drivers often run red lights and stop signs or fails to look both ways before proceeding. The driver of the car, suv, truck or bus pulls out from a driveway, parking lot or side street in front of the motorcyclist. Too often, the driver of the vehicle causing the collision is driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs or is not wearing needed corrective lenses. Motorcycle accidents and injuries are also the result of road construction negligence, product liability, defective products or negligent manufacturing or assembly.
Typically, the police will not come to the accident scene and make a report, unless one of the persons involved in the accident complains of injury. Regardless, the parties to an accident are required to exchange pertinent accident information. Experience has shown that people forget to obtain the needed information at the accident scene. Here is what you should do:
