Common Causes of Motorcycle Crashes

Most motorcycle accidents are caused by negligent driving on the part of an automobile driver.

In many cases, drivers just aren’t paying attention. Motorcycles can stop and maneuver more quickly than cars can, and in many cases, can be rear-ended or hit easily by drivers who are unaware of their surroundings. Speeding, impaired driving, moving violations, and more can also contribute to injury or death in a motorcycle accident.

With more than $475 million collected in verdicts and settlements*, you can be confident in our firm’s legal expertise.

What to Do in the Event of an Accident

If you are involved in a motorcycle accident, follow these steps to protect yourself immediately after the incident:

1. Safety First: Move away from vehicles if possible and call 911 to report the accident. Don’t wait to get medical attention for any injuries you may have suffered! If you aren’t severely injured, be sure to check on other people involved in the collision.
2. Information Second: Gathering information is important, but make sure you do it once you are safe and received any emergency medical care needed. If you’re able, take pictures of the scene, gather information from the other driver and witnesses, and make sure to get the police report when available.
