Why are Motorcycles Dangerous?

Motorcycles are far less crashworthy than enclosed cars and trucks. They are smaller, less visible, and less stable than four-wheeled passenger vehicles, and there is little protection provided for a rider in a crash. A different combination of mental and physical skills is required to operate a motorcycle. Riders and their passengers are much more vulnerable to road hazards and weather conditions than occupants of enclosed vehicles.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), a motorcycle crash is a complex, violent event that involves the interaction of environmental, vehicle, and human factors. More than 80% of all reported motorcycle accidents result in injury or death for the rider. Motorcycles provide no head injury protection, and ejection from the bike is a common occurrence. When a motorcycle comes to a sudden stop in a collision, a rider who is ejected will forcibly strike objects in his or her path, as well as the ground. If you were injured or a loved one suffered fatal injuries during a motorcycle collision, our Gwinnett County motorcycle accident lawyer can represent your injury claim, handle communication with insurance companies and secure fair compensation.

Motorcycle Accidents Caused by Negligent Drivers

There are many different factors contributing to motorcycle wrecks. Some are single-vehicle accidents in which a rider loses control of the bike for any of a number of possible reasons. However, NHTSA reports that approximately one-third of motorcycle crashes involving more than one vehicle are caused by other motorists turning into the path of the motorcycle. Drivers traveling in the opposite direction and making a left-hand turn at an intersection may simply fail to register the motorcycle in the roadway.
