When we picture ourselves in a car accident, we think of broken glass, smashed fenders, and deployed airbags. It's a scary thought, but what about those who don't have the steel safety of a car to protect them in the event of a crash?  

As bikers around Dallas and Fort Worth can tell you, it doesn't take much to cause an accident. A tree branch, a pothole, a sudden rainstorm-any one of these obstacles could have them looking for a motorcycle injury lawyer in Grapevine,Texas.Of course, the usual reason is much more common: other drivers.  

So why do cars and motorcycles have trouble getting along on Texas roads?  
  • Motorcycles are overlooked by drivers. Drivers are conditioned to be aware of other cars on the road, but often disregard smaller vehicles when making checks in the mirror.

  • A much smaller vehicle. On two wheels, a motorcyclist has a smaller profile and is more difficult to see in a rearview mirror.

  • Unpredictability. The speeds a motorcycle is capable of, the maneuvering of the bike, and the amount of space needed to cover a distance can be unfamiliar to the average driver. Colleyville motorcycle accidents are often caused when drivers overestimate a bike's speed or distance, assuming the bike will react like a car.

  • Weather conditions. Unlike drivers, cyclists are not protected by windows and steel. Rain, snow and wind can all negatively affect a cyclist's visibility and handling-leaving it up to the drivers around them to avoid an accident.

  • Improper positioning. As motorcycles can get lost among other cars, they must make an effort to be seen in traffic. If they ride to one side or other behind a vehicle, they risk traveling in the driver's blind spot. Highway collisions often occur as motorcycles change lanes after emerging suddenly from behind trucks.

  • Driver disregard. Drivers may think that since a motorcycle is smaller, it does not need as much room on the road as a four-wheeled vehicle. Motorcycles need the same stopping distance as cars, and therefore should be given a full lane, even if they don't "take up" as much space. If you are behind a motorcycle, you should maintain the same following distance that you do with cars.

  • Road conditions. Without exterior protection, cyclists must be extra aware of the condition of the road. A fallen tree branch, oil slick, or pothole would mean more than a scraped undercarriage-it could flip a motorcycle over. Motorcyclists often make split-second decisions to avoid obstacles at high speeds, which means the cars around them must react in turn.

The fact is that road safety is everyone's responsibility-no matter what kind of vehicle you drive. If another driver's negligence resulted in your injury, you need advice from an AV-rated Texas injury attorney.
