Unsafe Lane Change Motorcycle Accidents

Car accidents happen on the roads all the time. When it comes to motorcycle accidents, bike riders are much more vulnerable to injury due to lack of physical and special safety measures afforded by other vehicles. The size of the bike compared to a car or truck makes them especially at risk for lane change accidents, as careless drivers sometimes fail to properly check lanes before switching.

Car drivers have an obligation to pay attention to the road at all times, including safely changing lanes by using turn signals, checking mirrors, and being mindful of blind spots. All too often, drivers who cause motorcycle accidents were not paying enough attention to the motorcycle when changing lanes.

The result can be serious injury and even a fatality. If a car driver changes lanes with negligence, being reckless and without alerting the motorcycle rider, the injured bike driver has every right to demand compensation for injuries. Furthermore, if the victim was killed in the accident, relatives have a right to compensation from the car driver.
