Drivers are frequently found to be at fault for causing motorcycle crashes as a result of denying the right of way to a rider. This type of accident may occur during a left turn at an intersection, or perhaps when the driver is making a lane change.

When the driver takes any of the following negligent actions, the results can be disastrous:

• Fails to observe the motorcyclist in an adjoining lane, at a stop light, or in front or behind
• Does not notice the motorcycle
• Denies the right of way in an act of road rage

Some accidents are the result of road conditions or a faulty component, in which case the injured victim may pursue compensation through a premises or product liability claim.

Statistics on Motorcycle Accidents in Modesto

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that motorcycle riders are more than five times more likely than automobile drivers to be involved in fatal collisions.

Whereas motorcycles account for only two percent of all registered motor vehicles throughout the country, they represent five percent of all fatal collisions across the U.S. And according to statistics, two-thirds of all collisions involving motorcycles and automobiles are the fault of the car driver.
