Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents Throughout the United States

There is no strictly formulaic approach to motorcycle accident claims at the law offices of Proner & Proner. We represent injured motorcyclists nationwide, considering every case to be as unique as the parties and circumstances involved. For best results after a motorcycle accident, we examine all known facts with an open mind until we can confidently draw conclusions and develop theories of liability.

Nonetheless, as we have investigated the causes of our clients' motorcycle accidents over the years, certain themes have emerged. Over time, our motorcycle accident lawyers have discovered that, in general, many motorcycle crashes occur for reasons such as these:

  • The driver of a car, truck or bus — or another motorcycle riderfails to yield to our client at highway entrance and exit ramps; at entrances and exits to gas stations, parking lots and parking garages; on city streets, county roads and state highways — when changing lanes, turning left or approaching intersections controlled by red lights or stop signs. After an accident, these drivers often claim that they had not seen the motorcycle before the crash.
  • Drivers of cars, trucks and buses are distracted while driving, either talking on cell phones, texting or referring to GPS (global positioning system) devices.
  • Defective roads, defective motorcycle components and defective helmets all play a role in some motorcycle accidents.
