Serving Des Moines, IAMotorcycle Accident

When you're on a motorcycle, you’re almost completely unprotected. There is no protection, no "cage" like you find in other vehicles. When an accident occurs, causing a motorcycle to crash, the rider(s) are susceptible to great danger. Riders are frequently catapulted off the bike and thrown to the ground, nearby poles, trees, buildings, and/or other hard objects. This can lead to devastating injuries including head and/or spinal cord injuries, broken bones, road rash, and more. However, more often than not, these accidents result in fatal injuries.

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

Frequent causes of accidents while operating a motorcycle include:

  • Following a motorcyclist too closely
  • Driving recklessly
  • Excessive speed around a motorcyclist
  • Failing to check for motorcycles (While entering traffic, merging, or making a lane changes)
  • Pulling in front of a motorcycle (From a driveway, parking lot, or intersection)
  • Making a left turn in front of a motorcycle
  • Misjudging the speed or distance of a motorcycle
