Motorcycle Visibility Challenges

By their very nature, motorcycles lack the prominent presence that cars or trucks have on the road. In Oregon, a notable portion of motorcycle accidents occur due to larger vehicles overlooking motorcyclists. Drivers often fail to maintain a proper lookout, adhere to traffic control devices, and yield the right-of-way to motorcyclists. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, visibility-related issues are a leading cause of motorcycle 

The Blame Game: Accusations Against Motorcyclists

In the aftermath of an accident, it's not uncommon for at-fault drivers to deflect blame. They may argue that the motorcyclist was driving too rapidly or behaving recklessly. Over 30% of motorcycle accidents involve claims of motorcyclist "recklessness," making it crucial for riders to have strong legal representation to counter such allegations.

The Harsh Reality of Motorcycle Injuries

The absence of a protective frame means motorcyclists often bear the full impact of collisions. The outcomes can be harrowing. High-speed falls result in severe injuries, including broken bones, fractures, spinal damage, deep lacerations, and intense road rash. Per the Oregon Department of Transportation, motorcyclists face a 28-times higher risk of severe injuries compared to car occupants in accidents.

Understanding Motorcycle Insurance Nuances

Motorcycle insurance policies often come with intricacies distinct from standard vehicle insurance. It's pivotal to grasp the nuances of your coverage. After a collision, it is essential to understand your insurance coverage, the claim process, and any special provisions in your policy. With Washington and Oregon's unique laws around motorcycle coverage, staying informed and consulting a legal expert is indispensable.
