Causes of Motorcycle Crashes in Washington

Motorcyclists often earn the unfair reputation of being fast and reckless drivers, when in fact motorcycle crashes are frequently the fault of larger, heavier vehicles.

Here are some of the most common causes of motorcycle collisions in Washington, which you should be careful of:

  • Left-turn accidents, in which a car turns blindly and hits a motorcyclist driving through an intersection.
  • Rear-end collisions, in which a car runs into the back of a motorcycle, potentially throwing a rider from the bike and causing serious harm.
  • Head-on collisions, in which a car runs into the front of a motorcycle, typically as a result of careless behavior on the part of the driver.
  • Sideswipe accidents, in which a driver neglects to check the blind spot and merges into the motorcyclist.
  • Accidents caused by dangerous roads, in which potholes, gravel, fissures, or other defective road maintenance causes a motorcyclist to have an accident or to lose control.
  • Open car door accidents, in which drivers open the door without checking the road and cause motorcyclists to collide into the door.
  • Motorcycle defects, in which malfunctioning motorcycle equipment, frequently caused by negligent manufacturers, causes a rider to crash.
Any of the above accidents, or other types of crashes, put motorcyclists in danger. To get compensated for these damages, it’s imperative to work with a dedicated and experienced Washington personal injury attorney.

Get compensated for drivers’ negligent behavior

Victims of motorcycle accidents can recover losses from the incident through personal injury or wrongful death lawsuits. In this case, an experienced attorney will prove to the court that the defendant (e.g. the other driver, the vehicle manufacturer, etc.) was at fault for the accident.

There are many ways in which a driver can act carelessly on the road and cause harm. Here are some of the most common examples:

  • Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
  • Distracted driving (e.g. texting, calling, etc.)
  • Neglecting to check blind spots
  • Turning errors
  • Driving aggressively
  • Driving over the speed limit
  • Failing to adjust for conditions that affect visibility (i.e., driving at night, driving in bad weather, etc.)
  • Tailgating / following too closely
