Fort Lauderdale Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Types of Motorcycle Accidents

On the road, motorcyclists are significantly more susceptible to serious or potentially life-threatening injuries from car accidents than regular motorists. While motorcycles are a fast and efficient way to get people where they want to go, they also lack basic rider protections that are found in most motor vehicles (seatbelts, airbags, etc). For the most part, all a motorcyclist has between themselves and the road is a helmet, jacket and the clothes on their back.

Additionally, motorcyclists and their motorcycles tend to be a lot less visible to the drivers around them. Even when a motorcyclist is being vigilant, motorcycle accidents can still occur. Some of the main types of motorcycle accidents include:

• Accident where the driver "didn't see" the motorcyclist. Whether they were in the driver's blind spot or not, this is a common cause
• Rear-end collision
• Left-turn collision
• U-turn accident
• Accident due to sudden lane changes
• Accident caused by roadway obstructions
• Drunk driving accident
• Accident caused by a distracted driver
• Accident as a result of defective equipment
• Speeding
• Motorcycle vs. motorcycle
• Motorcycle vs. truck
