Towson Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

According to the Maryland Department of Transportation, 73 motorcycle riders and passengers on average are killed in Maryland traffic crashes every year, and over 1,000 more are injured. While both motorists and motorcycle riders are responsible for sharing the road safely, riders know full well that in the event of any collision, it’s the people on the bike who are far more likely to be injured or killed. At Hardball Law, we understand the unique challenges faced by motorcycle accident victims. The firm’s lead attorney, Susan R. Green, is herself an avid and experienced motorcycle rider who knows firsthand the dangers riders face on the road every day.

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in Towson and Baltimore County

Motorcycle accidents can occur for various reasons, many of which are related to the negligence of other drivers. While riders can be the cause of accidents, most motorcyclists appreciate the inherent dangers when they take to the road and are trained in defensive riding and safe practices. Common causes of motorcycle crashes attributed to the negligence of other motor vehicle drivers include:

1. Distracted Driving: Drivers texting or engaging in other distractions can easily overlook motorcyclists, which are less common on the road and less visible than passenger cars.
2. Speeding: Excessive speed reduces a driver’s ability to react to sudden changes, leading to collisions.
3. Failure to Yield: Many accidents occur when drivers fail to signal or yield the right-of-way to motorcyclists. A leading cause of motorcycle crashes occurs when drivers execute left turns into the path of an oncoming motorcycle.
4. Impaired Driving: Alcohol or drug impairment significantly increases the likelihood of accidents.
5. Reckless or Aggressive Driving: Motorcycles are more maneuverable than other vehicles, but drivers who overestimate this maneuverability and drive dangerously around motorcycles pose a risk of a crash or lane departure or forcing the motorcyclist to lose control of their machine.

Serious Injuries Resulting from Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents often lead to catastrophic injuries that require extensive medical treatment and long-term rehabilitation. Common injuries include:

• Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): Even with helmets, riders can suffer severe head injuries.
• Spinal Cord Injuries: These injuries can result in partial or complete paralysis.
• Fractures and Broken Bones: Limbs, ribs, and collarbones are particularly vulnerable in a motorcycle crash.
• Road Rash: Severe skin abrasions can lead to infections and require skin grafts. These injuries can also result in permanent scarring or disfigurement.
• Internal Injuries: Damage to internal organs can be life-threatening and necessitate emergency surgery.
