Motorcycles offer a sense of freedom on the open road but for what they offer in terms of enjoyment, they lack in safety. Their small size offers very little protection. Motorcycle accidents are deadlier than car accidents. So for a motorcyclist, an accident is more likely to result in catastrophic injuries. That said, you always have to factor in the potential for an accident to come out of nowhere, caused by the negligence of another driver and giving the motorcyclist little to no time to react. The good news is if you or a loved one have suffered an accident, our North Carolina motorcycle accident attorneys are here to help.

2. Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents Three-fourths of all motorcycle accidents involve a passenger vehicle. In many cases, the accident happens when the driver of the car or truck fails to see the motorcyclist. In other accidents, the driver may see the motorcyclist and fail to yield right-of-way or misinterpret the motorcyclists’ intentions. When we help the victims of motorcycle accidents, we often see accidents caused by: The driver of a passenger vehicle failing to check their blind spots or surroundings. This can happen when they’re changing lanes or pulling into/out of a parking spot. Drivers tailgating motorcyclists. A motorcycle is lighter than a car, but they brake at the same rate. Drivers behind motorcyclists must leave the same distance as they would if a car were in front of them. Passenger vehicles turning in front of a motorcycle. Again, drivers should not assume that a motorcyclist can stop on a dime. Drivers who are distracted by the radio, a cell phone, or other passengers.     Injuries from Motorcycle Accidents Since motorcycles don’t offer very much protection, severe injuries are more common than you might think. These injuries can cause massive damage. In some cases, they can be life-altering.
