What Causes Motorcycle Wrecks in Gonzales?

While nearly anything can cause a motorcycle accident, the most common cause on Louisiana roads is driver negligence. The majority of motorcycle accidents are the fault of the other driver, but it’s everyone’s responsibility to watch out for others on the road.

Negligent driving behaviors that can lead to devastating motorcycle accidents include the following:

• Driving while distracted or fatigued
• Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
• Reckless driving behaviors, such as speeding, tailgating, or failing to yield
• Swerving in front of a motorcyclist
• Turning left into a motorcyclist at an intersection

Many drivers make the mistake of misjudging a motorcyclist’s speed or distance when turning, which leads to a large number of motorcycle crashes. The road is dangerous for motorcycles, which is why you should always follow best safety practices when you ride. 

What Injuries Can a Gonzales Motorcycle Crash Cause?

Only 3% of all registered vehicles in the United States are motorcycles—but motorcyclists are involved in 15% of all traffic accident fatalities. That means that a motorcyclist is around 26 times more likely to die in a wreck than other vehicle passengers.

Even when they survive traffic accidents, motorcyclists often suffer life-changing catastrophic injuries that can rack up thousands in medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering damages. Often, victims are left unable to work or care for themselves, for months, years, or even the rest of their lives.

At Gordon McKernan Injury Attorneys, we’ve helped clients with these injuries and more from motorcycle accidents:

• Bone fractures
• Limb amputations
• Scrapes, road rash, and disfigurement
• Spinal cord injuries
• Brain injuries and other head injuries
• Wrongful death
