In 2009, 4,595 motorcycle accidents were recorded in the United States resulting to over 84,000 people injured. Only a couple of states have more motorcycle accident fatalities than Texas. They are California and Florida. The chances of getting injured in a motorcycle accident is greater than a car accident because there are no airbags and sheets of metal that will absorb the force of impact. With nothing to cushion you, your body will collide with the other vehicle or the road with great strength and velocity. Thus, a minor fender bender accident between cars can already be fatal to a motorcycle rider. In Garland, almost 70 percent of all accidents involving motorcycles happened because the other driver was not paying attention. The most common causes are:

• The car driver failed to signal when switching lanes
• The car turned left without looking in front of the motorcycle
• Cars pulling out in front of motorcycle
• Vehicles merging on the roads thereby forcing motorcycle riders from the road

In addition, motorcycle injures are also caused by over speeding, drunk driving and poor conditions of the road.

Although most drivers would that they did not see the motorcycle, it is not the rider’s fault that the other driver did not see him. It is considered negligence and is punishable by law.
