Motorcyclists are often injured by negligent car drivers. In the majority of cases, the other vehicle violated the motorcyclist’s right-of-way and caused the accident. Motorcycle riders are approximately 25 times more likely to be killed in a road accident. Motorcyclists are 5 times more likely to be injured than a person riding in a passenger vehicle.

There are a wide range of causes for motorcycle accidents, many of which include:

• Limited visibility - Intersections, buildings, parked vehicles, shrubbery, etc. 70% motorcycle accidents occur at intersections.
• Road hazards - Potholes, oil slicks, puddles, debris, and uneven pavement.
• Invisibility of motorcyclists - The motorcyclist is undetected by other drivers. Truck drivers are at even more risk of missing a motorcyclist – drivers of these huge vehicles often hit blind spots and do not see the comparatively small motorcycle, which can result in collision.
• Motorcycle defects - Fuel system leaks, which present an increased risk of fire in the post-crash phase.
