Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle crashes are among the most dangerous accidents because of the vulnerability of a motorcycle driver on the road. Three-quarters of motorcycle accidents involve a collision with a larger automobile. In addition, over 60 percent of motorcycle crashes cause fuel-system leaks, resulting in fire hazards. This makes the number of driver fatalities in motorcycle accidents much higher than other types of automobile accidents. When we factor in all the usual road hazards of sleepy drivers, alcohol/drug influences, and other types of reckless behavior, it is clear why driving a motorcycle is so hazardous.

In nearly 70 percent of motorcycle accident cases in the state of Texas, the operators of the motorcycles were not at fault. In many cases, another motorist failed to see the motorcycle in a heavy traffic situation or on a freeway.
