Frequently Asked Questions

Keeping a safe following distance, staying alert for slowing or stopped traffic, and reducing speed at night when visibility is lower can all help prevent rear-end collisions.
What injuries are common when a motorcycle hits the back of another vehicle?
Riders can suffer broken bones, head and neck injuries, and road rash, since they have far less protection than someone inside a car or SUV.
What usually causes rear-end collisions?
Common causes include following too closely, distracted driving, delayed braking, and reduced visibility at night.

What to Do After a Motorcycle Crash in Fort Worth, TX
If you're involved in a motorcycle crash, try to move to a safe area if possible and call 911 right away. Even if injuries seem minor at first, it's wise to get checked out by a medical professional, since adrenaline can mask pain from fractures or internal injuries. Remember to take photos of the scene if you're able, and get contact information from anyone involved or who witnessed what happened. Keep a copy of the police report once it's available, and follow up with your doctor if symptoms like pain, swelling, or stiffness appear in the days after the crash.
