Failure-to-Yield Motorcycle Accidents
The right-of-way rules of the road apply to motorcycle riders and passenger vehicle drivers alike. However, many drivers fail to understand or pay attention to the rules, neglecting the rights of other drivers, including motorcyclists.
Failure-to-yield collisions that involve motorcycle riders are not rare and are usually caused by the car driver who violates the motorcyclist’s right-of-way. In most cases, these failure-to-yield motorcycle collisions take place when:
The driver fails to check his blind spot, which may result in sideswiping a motorcycle
The driver does not use the turn signals when changing lanes in front of the motorcycle rider
The driver pushes the motorcycle rider off the road or into traffic

What Is a Failure to Yield Accident?
A failure to yield occurs when a driver does not allow another vehicle—often a motorcycle—its lawful right-of-way. These violations often result in high-impact side or front-end collisions, especially at intersections or while turning.
Common scenarios include:
- A driver turning left in front of an oncoming motorcycle
- Vehicles merging into a motorcycle’s lane without checking blind spots
- Drivers entering from driveways or private roads without yielding
- Running red lights or stop signs
- Failing to yield at pedestrian crosswalks where motorcyclists are crossing
Why Are These Crashes So Dangerous for Motorcyclists?
When a driver fails to yield to a motorcycle, the consequences are often severe or fatal. With no external protection, riders bear the brunt of the impact.
Common injuries in failure-to-yield motorcycle crashes:
- Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
- Broken bones and fractures
