Motorcycle Accidents 

A recent study found that drivers of cars and trucks, not motorcyclists, are the cause of most motorcycle accidents involving more than just the bike. Anyone involved in a motorcycle accident should have their investigative team evaluate all aspects surrounding the collision. This includes reviewing:  

• Blind spots on the vehicle 
• Video from convenience store or fast food restaurant on this corner  
• All Eyewitness accounts of the accident 
• Police accident report 
• Any testing of the driver for drugs and alcohol 
• Any history of driver with drugs and alcohol 
• Phone and texting records of the driver 
• Accident history at this intersection 
• Evaluation if road is striped per code 
• Inspection of road conditions and signage 
• Inspection of intersection 

Almost all motorcycle accidents can be prevented by paying attention and following the rules of the road.
