A motorcycle crash is a serious event that can be life-changing. The injuries associated with these types of accidents can be severe and often deadly. Most motorcycle accidents that occur in Phoenix and the surrounding areas are the fault of other drivers. The most common causes of motorcycles include:
Additionally, as a motorcyclist, you are at risk as a result of:
The fact is many drivers simply don’t pay attention to motorcycle riders. They either fail to see you or they are not aware of their surroundings. Because a motorcycle is much smaller than other vehicles on the road, they often are overlooked. When this happens drivers can slam right in the back of a bike. This type of accident can be tragic! Injuries related to this type of crash are often life-threatening.
As we have already learned above, other drivers on the road simply don’t keep an eye out for motorcycles. Many time someone driving a car will change lanes slamming into a motorcycle. When this happens serious injuries can occur. The massive size of other cars and trucks on the road can crush a motorcycle and its driver.
Every car and truck on the road has a blind spot. When a motorcycle gets in that blind spot things can turn out bad. Most drivers fail to check their blind spots before merging lanes or making other maneuvers. If you get caught in the blind spot you could be seriously injured or even killed.
We all know that distracted drivers can be dangerous. When people use their phone while driving very bad things can happen that result in serious bodily injury. These negligent drivers can run you over, or worse they can kill you. Negligent and distracted drivers can take your life or the life of your loved one in seconds. While there are laws against distracted driving, many people don’t follow them. Sadly, they only realize how dangerous it is until they injure or kill someone.
One of the biggest issues with motorcycle accidents is that even “common injuries” can be serious. The body of the motorcyclist and any passenger isn’t as well protected as someone who is in a passenger vehicle. As a result, when a collision occurs, the body receives the impact from the vehicle, the ground, and potentially other objects. This can result in catastrophic and even deadly injuries.
Some of the most common injuries include:
Even some injuries that may not seem severe, such as road rash and lacerations, can be more serious in nature since they are prone to infection.
Determining fault in a motorcycle accident in Phoenix and the surrounding areas is similar to proving fault in other types of vehicle accidents. It’s based on a concept known as negligence. Negligence means that someone has a legal duty to another person. That legal duty was breached. The breach of that legal duty caused, in this case, the motorcycle accident that caused you to receive your injuries and property damage.
