Motorcycle accidents occur each day on roads all over the country. While many accidents are simple "fender benders," others may result in serious injury. Although motorcycle riders are often stereotyped as reckless and fast drivers, it’s negligent automobile drivers who cause most motorcycle accidents. These accidents often involve traffic violations by the other driver, such as a failure to yield the right of way, illegal turning, speeding or failure to obey a stop sign or traffic control signal. The biggest danger to a motorcycle rider is drivers making left turns when the cycle is proceeding straight through an intersection. Bad road conditions also contribute to the accident.
