Why motorcycle accidents are different
Motorcyclists face a higher risk of severe injuries, from traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) and spinal cord damage to broken bones and scarring. Unfortunately, they also encounter bias from insurance companies that often unfairly blame the rider for the crash. We know how to counter these tactics. Our Warsaw motorcycle accident attorneys have extensive experience investigating bike crashes, gathering evidence, and building strong cases to secure fair compensation for our clients.
Common causes of motorcycle accidents in Warsaw
Motorcycle crashes in Warsaw often happen on busy roads like US-30, Market Street, or near recreational areas around Winona Lake. Some of the most common causes of these accidents include:
- Left-turn accidents: When a vehicle turns across the path of an oncoming motorcycle without yielding the right of way.
- Rear-end collisions: Motorists who follow too closely may not realize that motorcycles can stop much faster than cars.
- Merging and lane-change accidents: Drivers who fail to check their blind spots can sideswipe or collide with motorcycles.
- Dooring accidents: When someone opens a car door in the path of an oncoming motorcyclist.
- Distracted driving: Drivers using phones or distracted by other tasks often fail to notice motorcycles, leading to serious crashes.
- Head-on collisions: These high-impact crashes are often fatal for motorcyclists due to the lack of protection.
No matter the cause, our legal team has the knowledge and resources to identify liability and hold negligent parties accountable.
