Phoenix Motorcycle Accident
Phoenix could well be a motorcycle rider's dream. Central Arizona offers so many great rides with varied and beautiful scenery. There are great open roads, desert and some of the best weather in the country for year-round motorcycle riding. This combination of factors brings plenty of motorcycle riders out onto the road in the Phoenix area.
Many riders are incredibly responsible, follow rules and take safety precautions to protect themselves and others. Unfortunately, not all motorcycle riders, or car drivers, are as blameless. Drivers and riders alike take unnecessary risks by drinking, speeding, driving without a license, making risky maneuvers and letting their attention lapse. As great as Arizona is for biking, Phoenix motorcycle accidents do occur. These accidents leave victims with exorbitant medical costs and permanent disabilities, and are sometimes even fatal.
One of the biggest dangers on the road for motorcyclists are negligent drivers who are unaware of their presence on the road. Even if a motorcycle rider has made eye contact with a car driver, sometimes drivers do not truly "see" the biker. It may not register that the motorcycle is part of the regular traffic flow and that motorcycles move differently than cars. Motorcycle collisions occur most often at intersections where cars and motorcycles meet and negotiate rights-of-way. Unfortunately, when a motorcycle and car collide, the motorcycle rider has the least protection and is most likely to sustain injuries.
Motorcycle riders are also certainly capable of causing accidents. Many riders do not take basic safety precautions like wearing a helmet or brightly colored clothing. An elevated blood alcohol content level in motorcycle drivers can be a major factor in fatal motorcycle crash. Many motorcycle accidents involve riders who never got a motorcycle license, or even a driver's license, or had one or both revoked. Even among those who did have the proper licensure, many had little riding experience and little or no formal training.
