Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

Riding a motorcycle requires a constant balance of judgment and skill. The majority of motorcycle riders are careful and ride responsibly when traveling along the nation’s roadways. Unfortunately, wearing the right gear, avoiding risks and following the law doesn’t prevent other drivers from acting carelessly.

Some of the most common causes of motorcycle accidents are:

  • Distracted driving, especially texting while driving
  • Failure to notice a motorcycle lawfully driving on the road
  • Driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol
  • Left turns in front of a motorcycle
  • Aggressive drivers, unwilling to share the road with motorcycles

A recent study estimated that 60 percent of Florida motorcycle accidents involving another vehicle were the fault of the other driver, not the motorcyclist.

Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries

When accidents do occur, motorcyclists are at greater risk for severe injuries. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that a staggering 80 percent of motorcycle accidents result in injury or death. Often, these devastating crashes are the fault of a car driver, not the motorcyclist.

Some of the most common injuries caused by motorcycle accidents include:

These traumatic injuries can require significant medical care, extensive rehabilitative therapy and long periods away from work. The sudden and unexpected physical, emotional and financial challenges are often too much for families to manage, and the consequences can be severe.
