What Factors Can Affect Motorcycle Crash Injuries?
Motorcycle crashes can result in serious injuries because riders have less physical protection than people inside passenger vehicles. Helmets and protective clothing can reduce the severity of some injuries, but they cannot prevent all harm.
Speed, roadway conditions, visibility, traffic patterns, and the direction of travel can affect how a motorcycle crash unfolds. Intersections can present added risks because motorcycles may be less visible to drivers turning or crossing traffic.
Evidence may include motorcycle and vehicle damage, tire marks, traffic signals, roadway markings, photographs, and available video footage. Witness accounts can also help establish vehicle movements before contact. Medical records may document the nature and extent of injuries after treatment.
