Union Springs Motorcycle Accident Attorneys

Common causes of motorcycle accidents

Motorcycles give riders a sense of immediacy that cannot be equaled by driving a car. But riding a motorcycle means increased responsibilities, and increased risk of serious physical injury. The Tuskegee motorcycle accident law firm of Frank M. Wilson, P.C. understands the rewards—and the risks—of motorcycle riding.

The primary danger of a motorcycle is its primary pleasure—freedom. With no metal shell, a rider is literally part of the flow of traffic, rather than another encapsulated driver. But this lack of protection can prove deadly.

Understanding a motorcycle accident claim means understanding the causes of these accidents, including:

• Visibility: The biggest danger to motorcycle accidents is not being seen. Drivers of all types fail to spot or track a motorcycle in a flow of cars. Adopting the SEE (search for hazards, evaluate, and execute proper action) system can assist motorcyclists avoid approaching danger.
• Maneuverability: The quick maneuvering ability of a motorcycle can also be its downfall. A car or truck driver may assume a lane change can be made and proceed without noticing a motorcycle has moved into the space.
• Distracted driving: Distracted car drivers are deadly to motorcyclists. Gaining the attention of an undistracted driver is not easy, but achieving safe awareness from a distracted driver is impossible.

• Ride safe, observe the law

• Dress for safety and visibility
• Do not drive or ride with anyone intoxicated.
• Keep distance between your bike and other traffic
• Know how to drive in inclement weather or on rough road
