Types of Motorcycle Accidents in Montgomery County

Drivers may cause motorcycle accidents in a number of ways through their own careless actions, and could owe you a substantial amount of financial compensation if they were to blame for your motorcycle accident injuries. 

First, you would need to prove that they were to blame before you could negotiate a settlement with the insurance company. An experienced Montgomery County motorcycle accident lawyer at Bikers Have Rights is in your corner every step of the way.

Left-Hand Turn Accidents

The driver could make an illegal left-hand turn, where they cut across a motorcyclist who has the free right of travel. These accidents are extremely dangerous because the motorcycle would crash head-on into the car. Left-hand turn accidents are often fatal, and they result in serious injuries for the biker.

Head-On Accidents

The motorist may end up in the wrong lane because they are either distracted or intoxicated. They could end up squarely in the path of an oncoming biker. Head-on crashes are extremely hazardous in any context, and they are even more so for a motorcyclist who lacks any type of protection from direct impact.

Rear-End Crashes

Drivers may cause rear-end accidents in a number of ways. They may follow too closely behind a motorcycle, not allowing themselves enough room to stop when the bike slows down in front of them. A driver may simply not see a motorcyclist because they are distracted, and the biker is not at eye level. Then, the driver may run into the back of the motorcyclist, sending the biker flying forward from the bike.

Blindspot Accidents

Motorcyclists are difficult to see under any circumstances. The bike is not at the driver’s eye level. The motorist may not check their blind spots properly before they change lanes. A driver may end up sideswiping or bumping the bike when they are changing lanes. Any type of impact is dangerous because it could cause motorcyclists to lose control or force them off their bike.

Dooring Accidents

In urban areas, a motorcyclist is at risk of being injured in a dooring accident. Here, a driver who is parked on the side of the road, or their passenger, would open their door into the path of an oncoming motorcycle. Dooring accidents are extremely dangerous because the biker would make a head-on impact with a hard object, such as the door. It does not matter whether the driver actually struck you with their vehicle. They would still be liable for a dooring accident because it would be considered negligence. 

Single-Motorcycle Accidents

Although the motorcyclist may have lost control of their bike, they may not be at fault for it. Another driver could have undertaken a dangerous or reckless maneuver that caused the biker to lose control. In this case, even though they did not make an actual impact with the motorcycle, they would still be liable for a crash. It could be difficult to track down the driver who was responsible for the accident because they may not have stopped at the scene. A motorcycle accident lawyer would investigate the facts and track down witnesses to potentially locate the driver who was to blame for the accident.

Intersection Accidents

Intersection accidents are extremely dangerous types of crashes. Here, the driver would have failed to yield the right of way to the motorcyclist as required by law. A motorcyclist has the same rights as any other vehicle in traffic, meaning that they are able to proceed when they have the right of way. The driver may do something like run a red light or a stop sign, causing a serious accident where they can either run into the motorcycle, or the biker could run into the broad side of the car.

Road Hazards

A motorcycle is very sensitive to any changes in road conditions. They do not have the same type of shock absorbers and suspension that a car has, making it more likely that a motorcyclist could be injured if they run over things like debris or a pothole. If road hazards were to blame for your motorcycle accident injury, you could take legal action against the government, which has an obligation to maintain the roadways in a reasonable condition.
