Motorcycle Accidents Pose Significant Dangers in OK

An Oklahoma motorcycle accident lawyer can help you get the maximum compensation for your injuries.The Oklahoma Highway Safety Office estimates that there are more than 1,700 motorcycle accidents in the state each year, with about 77 percent of the riders involved suffering injuries. These numbers demonstrate the real dangers motorcyclists face when out on our roads and highways. An Oklahoma motorcycle crash attorney can assist. There are many different causes of motorcycle accidents.

The following are the most common causes of motorcycle crashes:

  • Inattentive driving: People who use cell phones or engage in other distractions while driving have reduced reaction times and are often not able to see oncoming motorcyclists until it is too late. Texting while driving, eating, and talking with passengers are common forms of distraction.
  • Intoxication: It’s extremely dangerous to drive a car or ride a motorcycle while drunk, but many people continue to engage in this activity. If an intoxicated motorist caused your crash, that individual may face both criminal and civil penalties.
  • Lane splitting: During periods of heavy traffic, some riders will try to move between vehicles, a practice is known as lane splitting. This can be dangerous, as the drivers of motor vehicles generally do not expect approaching motorcycles when changing lanes or turning.
  • Poor road conditions: Loose gravel and other impediments can make it easy for motorcyclists to skid out and lose control of their bikes. In these situations, it may be possible to seek compensation from the government agency in charge of road upkeep.

Our motorcycle accident lawyers understand the difficulty in recovering from a motorcycle wreck. The most important consideration when seeking a settlement in a motorcycle accident claim is to determine fault, which may include other drivers, other motorcycle riders, or any number of different parties.
