Motor accidents are the leading cause of death between persons aged 6-33 years old in the United States. Approximately 3,000 motorcyclists are killed each year while driving. Many others are seriously injured and undergo serious life changes and disabilities due to motorcycle accidents. Statistically, most motorcycle accidents are NOT the fault of the motorcyclist but of the driver of the other vehicle. Usually, inattention on the part of the other driver is the cause of the accident. Specifically, other causes of accidents we commonly see are:
A driver cutting off a motorcycle when changing lanes
A driver following the motorcycle too closely
Defective tires cause a tire blowout
A driver runs a red light or stop sign
If you are able to do so after the accident,
Remain at the scene of the accidentÂ
Call the police immediately or have someone call the police for you
File a police report as soon as the officers arrive, but do not guess or speculate at the cause of the accident.
Seek immediate medical attention, even if you think you are not injured. You may have injuries that will not be apparent for a few days.
Take photograpshs, even if you use a cell phone
Get the license number, personal and insurance details, and name of the other driver involved.
Ask for the details of any witnesses present at the accident scene.
See legal assistance as soon as possible.
