Types of Motorcycle Accidents in Pennsylvania

There are a number of common types of motorcycle accidents, which ultimately affect the extent of the resulting injuries for those involved. The type of accident may also assist us in creating an accurate portrait of the event itself in order to identify and prove who is at fault. Among the most frequent motorcycle accidents are:

  • Single vehicle accidents: these accidents often occur when the rider collides with a fixed object or “wipes out.” Road hazards, poor road conditions, or defective motorcycle equipment are common causes of these accidents.
  • Limited visibility accidents: these accidents often occur due to the other driver’s failure to recognize the presence of a motorcycle, either as a result of inattention or limited visibility in dense traffic. When these accidents occur, the other driver often fails to yield or changes lanes and “side-swipes” the rider.
  • Rear-end collisions: these accidents occur when a driver fails to properly assess the distance between their vehicle and a motorcycle that is traveling or positioned ahead of them. Often, they occur at red lights when the driver fails to properly evaluate the necessary stopping distance.
  • Head-on collisions: these accidents occur when a motorcycle and a car, truck, or another bike collide at the front of each vehicle, very often resulting in the rider being thrown from the bike, suffering severe injuries, if not death.
  • Broadside or T-Bone collisions: these accidents occur when the side of one vehicle is impacted by the front or rear of another vehicle, forming a “T.” Very often, these accidents occur when a vehicle (truck or car) turns left while a motorcycle is traveling straight.
