Motorcycle Accidents in Texas
Motorcycle accidents are a major concern in Texas, where thousands of riders are injured each year. According to the Texas Department of Transportation, over 500 motorcyclists lost their lives in 2022, and more than 2,300 suffered serious injuries. Many of these crashes happen in high-traffic areas or on highway service roads where visibility issues and sudden stops can increase risks.
Several common dangers contribute to motorcycle accidents:
- Left-Turn Collisions – Many motorcycle accidents occur when a car makes a left turn in front of an oncoming rider. Drivers often fail to judge a motorcycle’s speed and distance correctly, leading to serious crashes.
- Lane Changes Without Checking Blind Spots – Motorcycles are smaller and can be harder to see in a driver’s blind spot. When a driver fails to check before changing lanes, they can easily collide with a motorcyclist.
- Road Hazards – Potholes, debris, and uneven pavement pose a much greater risk to motorcycles than cars. Even a minor road defect can cause a rider to lose control.
- Rear-End Collisions – A vehicle hitting a motorcycle from behind can be deadly, even at low speeds. Motorcycles lack the structural protection that cars provide, making rear-end crashes extremely dangerous.
