Causes of motorcycle accidents
Pursuing justice for motorcycle accident victims
There are many motorcycle accident causes. Often, an automobile driver's negligence turns out to be a big factor. While the driver of the car typically may say he did not see the motorcyclist, two-thirds of all motorcycle accidents involve a driver turning into a lane - and into the motorcycle rider's right of way. Motorcyclists are 27 times more likely to die in an accident than people in other motor vehicles and five times more likely to be injured.

Other causes of motorcycle accidents
Other common causes of motorcycle accidents include:
- Vehicle moves into path of motorcycle
- Car driver is distracted (for example, texting) and runs into motorcycle
- Motorcycle gets hit by reckless or aggressive driver
- Motorcycle gets hit by a drunk driver
- Motorcycle comes across a road defect, such as loose gravel or a pothole, and biker loses control.
- Defective equipment such as malfunctioning brakes or tires
About 30 percent of all motorcycle accidents are caused by drivers who fail to see the bike, studies reveal. In other cases, road defects or motorcycle defects may play a role in the motorcycle crash. In many cases, even when someone else is negligent in the accident, the insurance company will try to blame the motorcycle operator.
