5 Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in Indianapolis

Motorcycle accidents in Indianapolis comprise a disproportionately large percentage of the traffic fatalities that occur in Indianapolis. In fact, the number of motorcycle-related deaths has increased each year for the past year. If you or someone you love has been involved in an accident, speak with an Indianapolis accident attorney, who may be able to help. 

While nearly 35% of fatal motorcycle accidents involved a speeding motorcyclist, nearly two-thirds of all accidents between a car and a motorcycle happen when the motorist violates the motorcyclist's right of way. Safety is a shared responsibility by all who travel the roads.

The 5 Most Common Types of Motorcycle Accidents in Indianapolis

The most common causes of motorcycle crashes are: 

• failure to negotiate a left-hand bend or turn;
• collision at intersections;
• collision while passing another vehicle;
• loss of control while riding; and
• cars switching into lanes occupied by motorcyclists. 

If you have been injured by another motorist's negligence in one of the many motorcycle accidents in Indianapolis, you don't have to bear the burden of your injury's costs alone. An accident attorney can answer all of your questions and help you determine liability in your accident, defend the legitimacy of your personal injury claim and get you the compensation you deserve for medical treatment and recovery.
