What kind of mechanical knowledge of motorcycles do you possess?
My knowledge of motorcycles is extraordinary. I have been riding and owning motorcycles for more than 40 years, I have long since lost count of how many motorcycle accident cases I have handled, I know the best experts, I regularly read the literature, and I write articles for motorcycle publications.
Motorcycles simply do not operate in the same way that cars operate. Those who only understand automobiles make many misstatements about motorcycle accidents. The most common misstatement is that it is very difficult to reconstruct what happened in a motorcycle accident. This statement merely reflects ignorance. Worse, those who only understand four wheel vehicles frequently come to incorrect conclusions when they look at a motorcycle accident.
What are the most common types of motorcycle accidents?
- Motorcycle-Car Collisions: Most commonly caused because cars and trucks do not see the motorcyclists. This can be due to driver negligence OR unsafe driving by the motorcyclist staying in blind spots.
- Sudden-Stop Collisions: Rear-ending accidents can range in severity for car collisions, however can often be fatal for motorcyclists. Sudden-stop collisions can cause a motorcyclist to go end-over-end, ejecting the rider from the motorcycle, resulting in serious injury.
- Single-bike Accidents: These accidents involve skidding, sliding, or toppling over on a bike. These are primarily caused by unsafe road conditions and poor weather conditions.
- Open Door Accidents: Frequent in urban environments, these kinds of accidents are caused when parked cars open their doors directly into a biker’s path.
