Why are so many accidents caused by these factors?

Failure to Yield the Right of Way

These collisions occur when a car or truck driver does not yield to a motorcyclist with the right of way, leading to an accident. Due to the smaller size of motorcycles, drivers may fail to see them, resulting in a failure to yield. Since motorcycles offer minimal protection, these accidents often cause severe injuries, such as broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, and spinal cord damage.

Unsafe Speeds

Many accidents happen when motorcyclists travel at unsafe speeds, either trying to keep up with traffic or driving too fast. Excessive speed reduces a motorcyclist’s ability to react to traffic changes or road hazards, increasing the likelihood of losing control. Even if another driver is responsible, motorcyclists involved in high-speed crashes are often unfairly blamed.

Driver Inattention or Distraction

With the rise of cell phone use and other distractions, distracted driving has become a significant problem. Distracted drivers may not notice motorcyclists until it’s too late, leading to crashes. They may also miss traffic signals, signs, or fail to yield. Inattention, even without distractions, can also lead to accidents if drivers aren’t fully focused on the road and their surroundings.

Steps Motorcyclists Can Take to Reduce Risk

Motorcyclists should wear helmets and protective gear, like jackets, pants, and gloves, to minimize injury in the event of an accident. Staying alert, driving defensively, and anticipating other drivers’ actions can help avoid potential hazards. Additionally, riders should understand their own limits and avoid riding at speeds beyond their skill level or their bike’s capabilities.

Michael did an amazing job throughout the entire process. He made sure everything was as easy as possible for me. Not once did I second-guess my decision to have his firm handle my case. One thing that really stood out was that although I hired Michael as my attorney, I had the entire firm behind me, as well. Every time I was in the office, both Alfred and Alex asked about the case. They asked how everything was going, how I felt about the process, whether or not I was comfortable with it all, and encouraged my input, also. It shows that they all genuinely care about their clients and the outcome. Thank you all once again!
