Before you got your motorcycle, everyone told you to be careful. They knew what you know—that motorcycle collisions can cause serious injury and death. What they failed to tell you, though, is that you don’t have to be a dangerous motorist to be hurt or killed in an accident. What they didn’t tell you is that other people can cause you to be hurt.
Motorcycles themselves aren’t dangerous. They aren’t going to suddenly attack you without warning or purposely drive you off a cliff. It’s people who are dangerous. It’s people who cause accidents. You could be the safest motorcycle driver in the world and still be hurt in an accident. Others can cause you to be hurt. And they should pay for the harm they cause.
If you haven’t been injured in a motorcycle accident yet, be thankful. These accidents tend to lead to severe injuries for obvious reasons. Learning the causes of motorcycle accidents can help you avoid some accidents, so do read on.
Just understand that no one can prevent every accident every time. You could still be hurt no matter how careful you are.
Here are a few of the common causes of motorcycle crash injuries.
The government is responsible for building safe roads and intersections. Sometimes, the government doesn’t do such a great job. The design of a road can lead to accidents if the design is poor. Also, if the road isn’t well maintained, a motorcyclist could be injured.
There are dangerous drivers out there who simply can’t be bothered to watch out for motorcyclists. You try your best to watch out for them, but sometimes you could miss one.
Faulty motorcycle parts or faulty auto parts can lead to crashes. The parts manufacturer could be held liable when their parts have been found to be defective.
Driving under the influence is so dangerous, and you could be injured due to a drunk driver. When this happens, the driver could be held criminally and civilly liable for their actions.
People don’t always give driving the attention it deserves, and you could be harmed because of that type of careless behavior.
If you’ve already been in an accident, the above information could help you figure out what caused your accident. You will need to know the cause in order to prove fault. Proving fault is important if you’re working on filing a personal injury claim. A claim is a good way to go if you need money to pay for an accident you didn’t cause.
