Statistics also show that another vehicle merging into a motorcycle’s lane and violating the motorcyclist’s right of way are the main causes of motorcycle accidents. Other motorbike accidents have resulted from obstruction of view from the sun’s glare or as a result of just not seeing a motorcycle in traffic. Motorcycle accidents often happen at intersections when the motorcyclist’s right of way is violated and traffic controls are ignored.
Negligent speeding—motorcyclists running wide on curves due to excessive speed or under-cornering—can cause a domino effect, resulting in a deadly wreck. Fuel leakage and spills from a motorcycle crash can cause fire hazards. Vehicle failure where control is lost due to a punctured tire is another known cause of motorcycle accidents.

Often, in motorcycle wreck cases, it is necessary to consult experienced counsel immediately after a wreck to make sure that all relevant evidence is preserved. Additionally, in these types of cases, it is often necessary to employ an accident reconstruction expert so that the causes of the wreck can be determined and documented at the earliest possible time to avoid a contest later or to be able to properly present the case later in court. If a re-constructionist is to be employed, it needs to be done as early as possible while physical evidence still exists. Often, it is necessary to employ other types of experts.
