Motorcycle, Chopper, Scooter & Moped Accidents


The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration reports that there are over 4 million motorcycles registered in the United States; which is attributed to the low maintenance costs, fuel efficiency and its use as a pleasure vehicle. 

Despite preventive actions and safety features (helmets), motorcycle accidents will occur. Serious bodily harm and even death are often the result of such tragic occurrences. The lack of a protective barrier between the driver and the road ultimately leaves motorcyclists in a very vulnerable position.

According to the Center for Disease Control, between 2001 and 2008, more than 34,000 motorcyclists were killed and an estimated 1,222,000 persons were treated in a U.S. emergency department for a non-fatal motorcycle-related injury (minor bumps, bruises, abrasions, road rash, broken bones, concussions).

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents:

  • Motorcycle-Car/Truck Collision. Sometimes car and truck drivers pull out in front at the biker at the last minute, they cut off the motorcyclist, they make a U-turn in front of the biker, or they violate the motorcyclist’s right of way. The car/truck often does not see the biker due to blind spots, driving conditions (hard to detect at night or in poor weather) or they are distracted (texting, talking on cell phone).
  • Sudden-Stop Collision. Rear end collisions where the driver of the motor vehicle stops for some unknown reason and the motorcyclist crashed into the back of their vehicle.
  • Open Door Accidents. Parked cars and vehicles that open the door directly into the biker’s path.
  • Road Conditions. Debris on the road, trash thrown out the window, groves, gravel, or lose pavement can cause a bike to skid out from under the rider. Road construction and railroad crossings can also put bikers at risk.
