Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents are often caused by the negligence of other drivers. When a motorist fails to safely operate their vehicle and causes a crash, they can be held liable for the resulting damages.

Some common causes of motorcycle accidents include:

  • Left-Turn Accidents: When a motorist turns left in front of an oncoming motorcyclist, a collision is almost inevitable. Left-turn accidents are one of the most common types of motorcycle accidents.
  • Unsafe Lane Changes: Motorists must always check their blind spots before changing lanes. When they fail to do so, they can collide with an unseen motorcyclist.
  • Speeding: Speeding reduces a motorist’s ability to react to adverse road conditions and other vehicles. When a motorist is traveling over the speed limit, they may not be able to stop in time to avoid a collision with a motorcyclist.
  • Distracted Driving: When a motorist is engaged in any activity that takes their attention away from the road, they are considered to be driving while distracted. This can include talking on the phone, texting, eating, drinking, talking to passengers, and more.
  • Drunk Driving: According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), motorcyclists are overrepresented in drunk driving accidents. When a drunk driver causes a motorcycle accident, they can be held liable for the resulting damages.

Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries

Motorcyclists do not have the same protections as those who are traveling in passenger vehicles. As a result, they are more likely to suffer serious injuries in the event of an accident.

Some common motorcycle accident injuries include:

  • Head Injuries: Motorcyclists who are not wearing a helmet are at a higher risk of suffering a traumatic brain injury (TBI) in a crash. TBIs can cause long-term or permanent impairments and disabilities.
  • Broken Bones: The impact of a motorcycle accident can cause motorcyclists to suffer broken bones in their arms, legs, and other body parts.
  • Road Rash: When a motorcyclist is thrown from their bike and skids across the pavement, they can suffer road rash. This painful condition occurs when the skin is scraped or torn away.
  • Spinal Cord Injuries: The force of a motorcycle accident can cause motorcyclists to suffer spinal cord injuries. Depending on the severity of the damage, these injuries can cause long-term or permanent impairments.
  • Soft Tissue Injuries: Soft tissue injuries involve damage to muscles, ligaments, and tendons. These injuries can be very painful and may require extensive medical treatment.
  • Internal Injuries: Motorcyclists who are involved in an accident can suffer serious internal injuries. These injuries may not be immediately apparent, which is why it is so important to seek medical attention right away.

Motorcycle accident injuries can require extensive medical treatment and long periods of rehabilitation. In some cases, victims are unable to return to work and earn a living. Our Hilton Head motorcycle accident lawyers can help you pursue compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.

How Our Motorcycle Accident Lawyers in Hilton Head Can Help

After a motorcycle accident, the insurance company may reach out to you and offer a settlement. It is important to remember that the insurance company is not on your side. They are interested in protecting their bottom line and will do everything they can to minimize your claim.

Before you accept a settlement offer, it is in your best interest to speak to an experienced motorcycle accident lawyer in Hilton Head. At Bauer & Metro, P.C., we can help you understand your rights and fight for the compensation you deserve. Our lawyers can conduct a thorough investigation into the accident and gather the evidence needed to prove liability.

  • Medical bills
  • Lost wages
  • Pain and suffering
  • Property damage
  • Disfigurement
  • Disability
  • Reduced earning capacity
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • And more

If the insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement, our lawyers are prepared to take your case to court. We have extensive trial experience and are not afraid to take on large insurance companies on behalf of our clients.
