Common types of Motorcycle Accidents: 

• Head-on collisions involving motorcycles account for 56% of motorcycle accident deaths. 78% of the time, the car strikes the motorcycle from the front, often resulting in death.
• The second most common type of motorcycle accident occur when cars make left-hand turns, which typically occurs when a motorcycle passes a vehicle, travels straight through an intersection or attempts to overtake a vehicle. Due to the motorcycle’s smaller size, passing cars are not aware of their surroundings quick enough to avoid crashing into a motorcyclist.
• When traffic jams occur, motorcyclists tend to drive between two lanes, which can lead to accidents because of how narrow the distance motorcyclists have to maneuver. Sometimes, a motorist doesn’t anticipate a motorcycle passing through.
• Fixed objects and road hazards, such as slick pavements and potholes, lead to devastating accidents. Typically resulting in motorcyclists being thrown from their bike and sustaining potentially fatal injuries.
• On some occasions, motorcyclists demonstrate negligent actions when they excessively speed or use alcohol. High performance motorcycles have the ability to achieve speeds greater than 140 miles per hour, which can be challenging to determine fault if an accident occurs.
