car motorcycle crash

Each year in Arizona, hundreds of motorcyclists are injured by careless drivers. Motorcycle accidents not only effect you, but can also devastate your entire family. 50,000 motorcyclists are injured in traffic accidents every year in the United States and 5,000 more are killed. This, according to data published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Because of their relative lack of protection from injury, motorcyclists are among the most vulnerable groups of road users.

Drivers of automobiles and trucks have an obligation to share streets and highways with motorcycle riders. Unfortunately, however, other drivers are sometimes inattentive and they fail to recognize the presence of those on bikes, or to anticipate their movements. This is known as “inattentive blindness”. Often times motorists do not perceive the single headlight of a motorcycle.

 

 

The most common causes of motorcycle accidents caused by motor vehicle drivers are:

  • Failure to see the motorcyclist while turning left or pulling out of private drive or roadway.
  • Inattention and distraction (including the use of cell phones and other electronic devices)
  • Unsafe lane changes
  • Failure to yield at intersections
  • Driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs
  • Reckless driving

We have handled hundreds of motorcycle injury cases and will provide you with the knowledge and guidance necessary to maximize your chances of full compensation.
