What Happens When a Motorcycle Is Involved in a Serious Road Accident?
Motorcycles provide much less protection than passenger vehicles, leaving riders more exposed during a roadway accident. Even at moderate speeds, a collision can cause severe or fatal injuries because the rider does not have the same protective structure surrounding occupants of a car.
Intersections can present added risks for motorcyclists. Drivers may have difficulty seeing a motorcycle because of its smaller size, especially when vehicles are turning or moving through multiple lanes. Traffic signals, visibility, speed, roadway markings, and driver attention can all affect safety.
After a serious motorcycle accident, information about vehicle positions, roadway conditions, traffic controls, and damage may help establish how the crash occurred. Witness accounts and available video footage can also provide useful details.
