Common Causes of Motorcycle Crashes

Many accidents where a motorcyclist is hurt are the fault of another driver. When this happens there are usually some common factors at play.

• Blind spots: Drivers may miss a motorcyclist in their blind spot, and a sudden lane change could result in a traumatic impact.
• Left hand turn accidents: Drivers may not accurately anticipate a motorcyclist’s speed or distance resulting in a collision as the car or truck attempts to make a left hand turn in front of the motorcycle.
• Open car doors: Driver inattention can be problematic here too.
• Drunk driving: Distracted or impaired driving of any kind can have catastrophic consequences.

Frequent Injuries

Motorcycle accident victims may suffer life-altering injuries. Since it’s easy for riders to be thrown off their bikes, the impact of a crash can be far more dramatic than if they were riding in a car.

Motorcycle accident victims may suffer:

• Broken bones
• Traumatic brain injury
• Amputations
• Burns
• Facial fractures and disfigurement
• Spinal cord injuries
• Paralysis
• Bruises and lacerations

These injuries might keep you out of work for weeks or months. If your injury is critical you may even be hospitalized for the duration of your recovery. That is why having a spine injury attorney Georgia trusts is imperative in order to get the compensation you deserve.

For a crash that wasn’t your fault, you should not be stuck carrying the burden on your own of medical bills, lost wages, pain, and suffering. Often the at-fault driver may have been negligent and could have avoided the crash.
