Riding a motorcycle can be exhilarating, giving you a huge sense of freedom. They can also be very dangerous, often resulting in serious injuries and even death. The lack of protection motorcycles offer to riders leaves drivers exposed to their surroundings, so serious injuries from motorcycle accidents are a common occurrence.
There are many causes of motorcycle accidents, including negligent driving, traffic violations, speeding, and distracted driving. There are other factors that may be out of a driver’s control, such as wet roads, inclement weather, vehicle failures, and roadway defects.
