Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
A lot takes place on the roads, and motorcycle accidents can happen for reasons beyond the rider's control. Poor road conditions, like potholes, cracks, and debris, can easily cause a motorcyclist to lose control. Rain, fog, and icy roads further reduce traction and visibility, increasing the risk of accidents. Mechanical failures, such as tire blowouts, defective motorcycle parts, or faulty brakes, can lead to sudden loss of control, putting the rider in danger and making the manufacturer potentially liable. Because motorcycles can sometimes be hidden in blind spots, cars can change lanes or stop suddenly without warning, hitting a motorcyclist in their path. Even when riding carefully, motorcyclists face many hazards that aren't their fault. Awareness of these risks can help riders stay vigilant and encourage other drivers to be more mindful.
