Types of Compensation

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents occur for a variety of reasons, many of which are related to the negligence of other drivers. Some of the most common causes of motorcycle accidents include

Distracted Driving

Drivers who are texting, talking on the phone, or otherwise distracted may not see a motorcyclist until it’s too late to avoid a collision.

Failure to Yield

Many motorcycle accidents occur at intersections when drivers fail to yield the right of way to a motorcyclist, resulting in a side-impact or head-on collision.

Unsafe Lane Changes

Drivers who fail to check their blind spots or signal before changing lanes are a significant threat to motorcyclists, who can be easily missed due to their smaller size.

Types of Compensation You May Be Entitled To

Motorcycle accident victims may be entitled to several forms of compensation, depending on the circumstances of the crash and the severity of their injuries.

Medical Expenses

This includes both current and future medical costs, such as emergency treatment, surgeries, rehabilitation, and ongoing care for long-term injuries.

Lost Wages

If your injuries stop you from working, you can claim lost income and compensation for reduced earning capacity.

Pain and Suffering

Motorcycle accidents cause physical pain and emotional distress. Compensation for pain and suffering covers reduced quality of life.

Property Damage

You can recover compensation for repairs or the replacement of your motorcycle and any other personal property damaged in the accident.

Essential Steps To Take After a Motorcycle Accident

Motorcycle crashes can be sudden and overwhelming. Taking the right steps immediately helps protect your safety, preserve evidence, and safeguard your legal rights.

Prioritize Safety First

If possible, move to a safe spot away from traffic. Check yourself and others for injuries and call 911. Even if you feel okay, seek medical attention—some injuries show up later.

Document the Accident Scene

Take clear photos of your motorcycle, other vehicles, injuries, and the surrounding area. Record video if safe. Collect contact info from witnesses and involved parties.

Get Prompt Medical Care

Motorcycle accidents can cause hidden injuries like concussions or internal damage. See a doctor right away and follow all medical advice.

Seek Immediate Medical Attention

Some injuries, such as concussions or internal bleeding, may not show symptoms right away. Visit a healthcare provider promptly and follow all recommended treatments.

Collect Information

Get names, phone numbers, addresses, and insurance details of all involved drivers, passengers, and witnesses. Also, note the time, date, and weather conditions.
