Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in Tulsa
Motorcyclists have just as much of a right to be on Tulsa roads as other motor vehicles. Still, many negligent drivers don’t give riders the respect and care they deserve – and the riders often pay the price.
Some of the most common causes of motorcycle crashes our attorneys see in Tulsa involve:
- Exceeding the speed limit or driving too fast for the conditions
- Driving while distracted, such as using a cell phone
- Turning or changing lanes without signaling or checking blind spots
- Running red lights or stop signs
- Failing to give a motorcycle the full width of the lane
- Making unsafe left turns
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Failing to yield the right of way
- Hitting or swerving around road hazards
Why Motorcycle Accidents Are Often More Severe Than Car Accidents
Motorcycle crashes tend to lead to more serious consequences for riders than typical car accidents for several reasons, including:
- Lack of protection – Unlike car occupants, a motorcycle rider has little protection from an impact with another vehicle. Without that defense, a collision between a motorcycle and another vehicle can result in riders suffering severe physical trauma.
- Lack of safety devices – Most passenger vehicles are equipped with safety devices that reduce the risk and severity of injuries, such as seat belts and airbags, which motorcycles generally don’t have.
- Visibility issues – Drivers often do not notice a motorcycle moments before impact and make no effort to brake or swerve to reduce the severity of the collision. This can lead to more violent force transferred from the vehicle to the motorcyclist.
- Increased risk of catastrophic injury – Motorcycle riders have a higher risk of suffering a severe injury in a road accident than occupants of other types of vehicles. A collision can throw a rider from their motorcycle, causing devastating harm like multiple broken bones, spinal cord damage, or traumatic brain injuries.
How Drivers’ Failure to See Motorcyclists Causes Serious Crashes
Frequently, a motorcycle crash in Tulsa occurs because a car, truck, or bus driver negligently fails to keep a lookout for motorcyclists.
Many drivers subconsciously notice only passenger cars or larger vehicles. As a result, they may not see a motorcycle riding near their vehicles.
This lapse in awareness can lead to accidents involving motorcycles, such as when a driver:
- Changes lanes and cuts off a motorcyclist
- Suddenly stops or turns in front of a motorcyclist without signaling
- Fails to notice a motorcyclist braking in front of them
When a motorist’s failure to drive safely around all road users causes you harm, you deserve to hold them accountable – and we want to help.
