Motorcyclists involved in crashes rarely walk away from the crash unscathed, which is not always the same for the driver of the car involved. In fact, the Insurance Information Institute (III) reports that one year’s data indicates that motorcyclists are 29 times more likely to die in a crash than are occupants of passenger cars, and five times more likely to be injured
One of the reasons that motorcyclists are at a high risk of serious or fatal accidents when they are involved in a vehicle crash is that motorcycles are hardly equipped with safety devices. While passenger cars have airbags, seatbelts, and metal framing to shield them from injuries, motorcyclists have nothing, and are often thrown into the road, the vehicle, or an object as such. Further, motorcyclists themselves may be ill-equipped for a crash, wearing nothing more than basic clothing. In some cases, a motorcyclist’s arms and legs may be uncovered, increasing the risk of road burn injuries. In the most serious of cases, a motorcyclist may be unhelmeted, significantly increasing the chances that the motorcyclist will sustain a traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Negligence Leads to Crashes
The top cause of motorcycle accidents in Summerlin and elsewhere is negligence, particularly driver/motorcycle operator error. Data shows that some of the top acts of negligence that cause motorcycle crashes include:
- Alcohol use. Both drivers of passengers cars and motorcyclists may operate their vehicles while under the influence. Alcohol use is a leading cause of motorcycle accidents, and may be to blame for over 25 percent of crashes.
- Speeding. Speeding is a type of aggressive driving, and not only increases the risk of an accident, but also increases the risk of severe injuries if a crash does occur. In addition to driving faster than the posted speed limit, driving too fast for conditions also leads to crashes.
- Distracted driving. Distracted driving is a factor in a large percentage of all motor vehicle accidents that occur across the country, but can be a particularly worrisome behavior to engage in when motorcyclists are on the road. Motorcyclists, due to the fact that they and their vehicles are much smaller than passenger cars, can be difficult to spot as it is; when a driver is distracted by a cellphone, passenger, or the radio, by the time they see the motorcyclist, it could be too late.
Filing a Claim after a Motorcycle Accident in Summerlin
Because Nevada maintains an at-fault insurance system, all drivers and motorcyclists in the state are required to carry liability insurance, which is designed to pay for injuries that drivers cause to others. This means that if you are involved in a motorcycle accident that is caused by another driver, you can file a claim with that driver’s bodily injury/property damage liability coverage.
If you carry certain coverage types, such as Medpay (medical payments coverage), you can also file a claim with your own insurance. Medpay pays for medical expenses regardless of fault.
You can also file a lawsuit directly against the at-fault driver, although doing this is typically reserved for a situation in which a settlement cannot be reached with the insurance company.
