Common Motorcycle Accident Causes
What we see causes the most Motorcycle accidents
Riding a motorcycle is inherently riskier than driving a car. There are many factors that can lead to a motorcycle accident, including:
- Head-On Collision: 78% of the time, a car strikes a motorcycle head-on from the front, often leading to accidental death for the motorcyclist.
- Left-Hand Turns: These types of collisions account for 42% of all accidents involving a motorcycle and a motor vehicle.
- Lane Splitting: This occurs when a motorcycle drives in between two lanes of stopped or slow-moving traffic.
- Speeding & Alcohol: Nearly half of all motorcycle accidents involving a single motorcycle are related to speeding or alcohol consumption.
Determining fault in a motorcycle accident case is a critical first step in securing the compensation you are owed for medical treatment and property damage. Contact Defensor Latino to schedule a free motorcycle accident legal consultation with our team today.

Your Post Motorcycle Accident Checklist
What should you do following a motorcycle accident?
DO
- Call 9-1-1 and request law enforcement to come to the scene of the accident and file a report.
- Assess your passenger(s) for injuries and request an ambulance if necessary.
- Ask politely for witnesses to stay until the police arrive so they can provide their version of events.
- Ask any witnesses for their names and phone numbers if they have to leave and cannot wait for the police to arrive; be sure to provide this information to the officers.
- Inform law enforcement of any injuries, pain, or discomfort as soon as they arrive; even if they do not ask.
- Get the license plate, make, and model vehicle that hit you. If you were a passenger, get this information for the vehicle in which you were riding as well.
- Request immediate medical attention and an ambulance if you are dizzy, have double vision, have headaches, or are nauseous.
DO NOT
- Agree to the other driver’s request to keep this “between us” or trust an arrangement for them to pay for the damages out-of-pocket to avoid an increased insurance premium in his or her policy.
- Assume law enforcement will obtain the names, phone numbers, or addresses of witnesses to the accident.
- Assume that if law enforcement spoke to a witness, their information and statements will appear on the collision report.
- Assume you are not injured because there is no blood.
- Report the accident to your own insurance company or the driver’s insurance company without a lawyer’s assistance.
- Wait several days or weeks to contact a knowledgeable motorcycle accident attorney.
