COMMON CAUSES OF MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS

Unsafe lane changes

Car Doors

When motorists do not indicate when changing lanes or checking their blind spot, they run the danger of colliding with a motorcyclist.

Some motorcycle accidents occur when drivers open their car doors directly in front of an approaching motorcycle.

Drunk while intoxicated

Lane splitting

Criminal and civil penalties may be imposed on drivers who cause collisions while driving while intoxicated.

Although it is technically allowed to "lane split," or drive between two lanes, in California, it is nevertheless risky, especially for new riders.

Speeding

Poor and dangerous road conditions

Speeding decreases a driver's ability to see and react to other vehicles and motorcycle riders in time to avoid an accident.

A motorcycle rider's risks of losing control and colliding with something might be increased by potholes, fractured pavement, debris, and a lack of essential signals and signs.

Motorcycle defects Any injuries or fatalities caused by the usage of a defective motorcycle item may be the manufacturer's fault if the part is badly designed or manufactured.

Failing to respect the rider’s right of way
