Car Driver Errors – Major Cause of Motorcycle Accidents in PA & NJ

Errors caused by distracted driving can be especially dangerous for operators of motorcycles. Many accidents occur because the operator of the car never perceived the motorcycle. This phenomenon is known as Motion Induced Blindness. Approximately 43% of motorcycle accidents involve a similar set of circumstances – a motor vehicle turning left and colliding with an oncoming motorcycle. This is because drivers tend to perceive smaller objects as being farther away. The car driver perceives the motorcycle as being farther away, which is what leads to a potentially fatal collision.

Serious Injuries Associated with Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle riders unfortunately suffer serious injuries in a large percentage of all motorcycle accidents. This is because motorcycle riders do not have the benefit of being protected and surrounded by their vehicle. A motorcyclist injured in an accident may suffer fractures, spinal cord injuries, severe burns, road rash, traumatic brain injury, amputation, paralysis, and even death. These injuries may necessitate extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation, which will likely result in significant medical expenses. The injured rider may also be left with permanent disabilities, disfigurement, lost wages, and an inability to earn future income. The injured rider may have ongoing pain and suffering, which dramatically alters his or her quality of life.
