Edinburg Motorcycle Accident Attorney
According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, 54 percent of all fatal motorcycle crashes in 2011 involved multiple vehicles, and the leading age group for riders in such accidents was riders who were over 50 years of age. Having a larger or more powerful bike did not increase the risk of accident, since nearly half of all collisions - 47 percent - involved motorcycles with engines of 1,000 ccs or smaller. More than half of the fatal motorcycle crashes in 2011 occurred on non-interstate major roads such as boulevards and state highways.

Motorcycle Accidents Caused by the Other Driver
Car and truck drivers are frequently proven to be at fault for causing motorcycle accidents. For example, the Hurt Report, a landmark study which was commissioned by the National Highway Traffic Safety Commission in the early 1980s, found that approximately two-thirds of all collisions between motorcycles and automobiles are caused by the driver. This is due in large part to the fact that many drivers simply do not pay the full attention that they should while behind the wheel, and as a consequence they commonly fail to notice a motorcycle approaching at an intersection or riding in the adjacent lane. Whatever the cause of your accident, you should not be forced to pay the price if it was not your fault!
