Understanding the Risks: Motorcycle Accident Injuries in Pensacola
Many factors come together to make inner city and highway motorcycle crashes particularly damaging. Of course, riders are exposed and vulnerable to an impact with another vehicle, the roadway, or a stationary object, with little to protect them besides the bike they are on and perhaps a helmet and some leathers. But there are other factors as well.
- Bikers may have limited visibility
- Motorbikes are harder to see from a car, truck, or SUV window
- The speed and maneuverability of a bike means they often travel faster than the traffic around them and make lane changes more frequently
- Limits to the bike’s safe handling and stability which other drivers may not understand
- The lack of attention paid to motorcyclists by other drivers on the road
- Some drivers do not respect motorcyclists and they drive recklessly or aggressively around the bike

Following these common-sense tips can help reduce your fault for any accident that may happen:
- Watch out for other drivers on the road and ride defensively
