How Driver Negligence Causes Motorcycle Accidents

Most motorcycle crashes involve some form of negligence by another driver. These drivers often fail to see motorcycles, don’t respect their space, or violate traffic laws. Because motorcycles are smaller and less visible, even a moment of inattention or a minor traffic error by a motorist can have devastating consequences. Common examples of negligence include:

Speeding

Drivers going over the speed limit have less time to react and longer stopping distances. When a car speeds through an intersection or loses control on a curve, the motorcyclist nearby pays the price. Even 10 mph over the limit can mean the difference between a near-miss and a fatal impact.

DUI

Impaired drivers pose a major threat to motorcyclists. Alcohol and drugs impair judgment, slow reaction times, and increase the chance of a violent crash. Riders struck by impaired drivers often suffer serious or permanent injuries.

Distracted Driving

Texting, eating, using GPS, or adjusting the radio takes a driver’s eyes off the road. A moment of distraction can lead to a rear-end collision or an unsafe lane change that sends a rider off the road. Many drivers underestimate how much their multitasking can affect their awareness.

Illegal Lane Change

Drivers who fail to check blind spots or use turn signals can strike a motorcyclist while merging or switching lanes. Because motorcycles are smaller, drivers often don’t see them until it’s too late. These crashes frequently happen in congested traffic or during rush hour.

Unsafe Turns

Left-turn accidents are some of the most common types of motorcycle crashes. When drivers misjudge a rider's speed or fail to yield, the motorcyclist often collides with the turning vehicle. Intersections remain one of the most dangerous areas for riders.

Fatigued Driving

Exhausted drivers are slower to react and more likely to make critical errors. Fatigue-related crashes are especially common in early morning or late-night accidents. Drowsy driving can mimic impairment, leading to sudden lane drift or failure to brake in time.

Running Red Lights and Stop Signs

When a driver runs a stop sign or red light, the results can be deadly, especially when they collide with a motorcyclist who had the right of way. These types of crashes often occur at high speeds, increasing the severity of injuries.

Violating Traffic Laws

Illegal U-turns, reckless driving, tailgating, or failing to yield can all lead to serious motorcycle collisions. We use these violations to establish fault and hold drivers accountable. Dash cam footage, traffic citations, and witness statements can be critical in proving these claims.

Dooring

When a driver or passenger opens a vehicle door into the path of a motorcyclist, the result can be catastrophic. Dooring accidents often occur in urban areas or when motorcycles are filtering through traffic. Riders may swerve into oncoming lanes to avoid impact or can be thrown from their bikes after impact.

Motorcycle Accident Injuries

Motorcycle crashes often result in catastrophic or life-altering injuries. Riders have no steel frame, airbags, or seat belts to protect them, so even low-speed collisions can be devastating.

Some of the most common motorcycle accident injuries include:

  • Rib, pelvis, and skull factures: High-impact crashes can cause complex breaks requiring long recovery periods and sometimes surgical intervention.
  • Road rash: Severe skin abrasions can lead to infections, nerve damage, and permanent scarring.
  • Lacerations and degloving injuries: Deep cuts and torn skin are extremely painful and may require skin grafts.
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs): Even with a helmet, a forceful crash can cause concussions, cognitive impairments, or long-term neurological issues.
  • Amputation: Crushing injuries or severe damage to limbs may result in surgical amputation.
  • Paralysis and spinal cord injuries: Injuries to the back or neck can result in partial or total paralysis, affecting every part of a person’s life.

Wrongful Death of a Motorcyclist in Gillette

In some instances, the negligence of a driver leads to the wrongful death of a motorcyclist. In these tragic situations, the family of the biker can pursue legal action against the parties responsible for the death of their loved one. Family members are entitled to seek compensation, including:

  • Funeral and burial expenses
  • Amounts the deceased would have earned as income
  • For the loss of the deceased’s support and fellowship

Losing a loved one in a motorcycle accident is one of the most difficult and trying experiences in a person’s life. You and your family deserve to have the people responsible for your pain and suffering to be held accountable.

  • Meeting legal deadlines: Wyoming has a statute of limitations for personal injury claims.

Who Is Liable for Your Injuries?

Determining liability in a motorcycle accident involves a detailed investigation into what happened and who contributed to the crash. Potentially liable parties may include:

  • Passenger vehicle drivers who acted carelessly
  • Commercial drivers or trucking companies
  • Motorcycle manufacturers (in cases involving defective parts)
  • Government entities (if dangerous road conditions played a role)

Our legal team will collect police reports, review traffic camera footage, consult with crash reconstruction experts, and gather every piece of evidence needed to build a strong case.

Motorcycle Accident FAQs

What should I do after a motorcycle accident in Wyoming?

Seek medical attention immediately, even if you don’t feel seriously hurt. Then, report the crash to law enforcement, take photos of the scene and injuries, and avoid giving statements to insurance companies before speaking with a lawyer.

Can I still file a claim if I wasn’t wearing a helmet?

Yes. While not wearing a helmet may affect the extent of your injuries, it does not automatically prevent you from pursuing compensation. Your right to a claim depends on who caused the crash and how the injuries occurred.

What types of compensation can I recover after a motorcycle accident?

You may be able to recover compensation for medical expenses, lost income, reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, motorcycle repairs or replacement, and future care costs.

What if I was partially at fault for the accident?

Wyoming uses modified comparative negligence. As long as you are less than 51% responsible, you may still be eligible for compensation, but your award will be reduced by your percentage of fault.

How long do I have to file a claim after a motorcycle accident?

In Wyoming, you generally have four years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury claim. It’s important to act quickly so evidence doesn’t disappear and deadlines aren’t missed.

Should I talk to the insurance company after the crash?

It’s best to let your attorney handle communications with insurance adjusters. They often try to minimize your injuries or get you to accept a low settlement. We can protect your interests from the start.

What if the driver who hit me doesn’t have insurance?

You may still have options. If you carry uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, your policy may help cover your losses. We’ll explore all available sources of compensation.

What makes motorcycle accident claims different from car accident claims?

Motorcycle accidents tend to result in more serious injuries, and riders often face unfair stereotypes from insurance companies. These cases require aggressive legal advocacy and a clear strategy for proving liability and damages.

Why should I hire Steven Titus & Associates, P.C. for my motorcycle accident case?
