Scottsdale Motorcycle Accident
From the famous Route 66 to the Grand Canyon, Arizona offers motorcyclists no shortage of beautiful and interesting places to ride. However, a beautiful afternoon on your bike can quickly turn into a disaster if you lose concentration for even a moment. While you might suit up with a helmet, goggles, gloves and other motorcycle safety equipment for a long ride, you might be inclined to just hop on without all of your gear if you just need to make a quick trip in the neighborhood. We all feel safe, whether we drive a car or a motorcycle, on short trips along local streets with lower speed limits, but this feeling of safety is misleading.
The congestion of city and suburban roads can be more dangerous than the open space on the highway, even though traveling speeds are lower. Intersections are by far the most dangerous place for motorcycle riders. Most accidents happen where vehicles cross paths whether it is a busy four-way signaled intersection or a suburban driveway where a car backs out. More than half of motorcycle accidents occur when a driver disregards a motorcyclist's right-of-way, usually at an intersection of some type.
It is important for motorcycle riders to be aware and anticipate the possible moves of cars around them. Many Scottsdale motorcycle accidents happen when unaware passenger car drivers turn left in front of a motorcycle because they fail to see the rider. Even parked cars can pose a danger if the driver suddenly flings open a door or decides to pull into traffic without looking. Riders need to make themselves seen and give themselves room to make emergency maneuvers if needed.
Riding a motorcycle is much more dangerous than driving a car, and collisions happen, even to the best riders. If you suffered injury in a motorcycle accident because of another person's actions or inaction, you may be entitled to monetary damages. You need an experienced motorcycle accident attorney to stand up for you.
