Motorcycle Accidents 

A vehicle making a left hand turn in front of a motorcycle is the number one factor in motorcycle accidents and fatalities. Left-turn accidents account for 36% of fatal motorcycle accidents. 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  
• Timing of traffic signals 
• Video from car wash, tile store, Family Dollar, or Burger King on this corner 
• All Eyewitness accounts of the accident 
• Police accident report 
• Any testing of the driver for drugs and alcohol 
• Any history of the driver with drugs and alcohol 
• Evaluation if road is striped per code  
• Inspection of road conditions and signage  
• Phone and texting records of the driver 
• Accident history at this intersection 

All motorcycle accidents can be prevented by paying attention to and following the rules of the road.
