Unsafe Driving
Even with a helmet, motorcycle operators and passengers are vulnerable for a number of reasons:
- The drivers of larger vehicles (cars, trucks, SUVs) often don’t take note of motorcycles on the road.
- They may not give a motorcyclist a full lane width.
- A vehicle driver may not signal his/her intention to change lanes or merge with traffic.
- A driver may not look in the vehicle’s blind spot, missing a motorcycle’s presence.
- A driver may underestimate the effects of adverse weather on a motorcycle.
- Vehicle drivers often do not allow enough following distance behind a motorcyclist.
Motorcycle Accident Injuries and Losses
A motorcycle accident may result in very severe injuries, accompanied by losses such as:
- Medical bills

When the motorcycle accident is caused (wholly or in part) by the negligence of another driver, the injured may be eligible for financial compensation.
