Frequently Asked Questions
Are motorcycle crashes more likely to happen at intersections?
Yes. A large share of motorcycle collisions occur at intersections, often when a turning or crossing vehicle fails to see an oncoming rider in time.
Does the road surface make a difference for motorcycle safety?
It can. Potholes, loose gravel, wet pavement, and uneven lane markings affect a motorcycle's traction and stability far more than they affect a car.
What gear actually helps reduce injury in a crash?
A DOT-approved helmet, a reinforced jacket, gloves, and over-the-ankle boots are the basics that consistently reduce the severity of head, limb, and road-rash injuries.
What usually causes motorcycle accidents?
Common factors include drivers failing to see a rider, left-turn collisions at intersections, speeding, and sudden lane changes by either vehicle.
What to Do After a Motorcycle Accident in Baltimore, MD
If you're involved in a motorcycle crash, try to move to a safe spot if you're able and call 911 right away. Even if you feel okay, get checked by a medical professional, since injuries like concussions or internal bleeding aren't always obvious at first. Take photos of the scene, the vehicles, and any visible injuries if it's safe to do so, and get contact information from witnesses. Remember to request a copy of the police report once it's available, and keep records of any medical visits or treatment that follow. Give yourself time to recover and lean on family or friends for support while you sort out next steps.
