What Causes Motorcycle Accidents In Northern Kentucky?

Many motorcycle crashes happen because of negligent motorists. Bikers are often highly trained and attuned to the road. Drivers, however, aren’t. Some common accident causes include:

  • Drivers distracted by phones, food and other things
  • Failure to check mirrors and blind spots
  • Misjudging biker’s speed
  • Turning in front of motorcyclists
  • Ignoring traffic laws

Our attorneys are familiar with the many ways these crashes unfold, and we know how to hold negligent drivers accountable.

What Roads Are Most Dangerous In Northern Kentucky?

Motorcycle crashes can happen anywhere in northern Kentucky, but some roadways are riskier than others. The Brent Spent Bridge in Covington, which crosses the Ohio River, is particularly dangerous. Because of the bridge’s outdated design, frequent congestion, lack of adequate shoulder space and poor visibility, bikers and drivers alike are much more likely to get into crashes there than elsewhere.

Intersections are also high-risk areas for bikers. Motorcycles are more likely to get T-boned or hit head-on at intersections.

What To Do If You’re In A Motorcycle Accident In Northern Kentucky

The steps you take after an accident can determine the outcome of your compensation claim. To help you act in your best interests, here is a list of steps you can take after an accident:

  • Contact the police: Reaching out to the police does several things for you. The police can ensure you get the medical attention you need, secure the scene of the accident and provide you with a police report that can be used in your injury claim.
  • Gather information: If you are able to safely move about the accident site, collect photos of the crash, record witness testimony and contact information, and collect the other driver’s insurance, license and car information.
  • Notify your insurance: Report your accident to your insurance company so they can begin taking the necessary steps, but refrain from answering too many questions without completing the next step.
  • Contact an attorney: By reaching out to our team of lawyers, we can guide you through your personal injury claim, avoid criminal mistakes, and minimize the time and effort necessary to secure the compensation you deserve.

After you leave the crash site, be sure to see a doctor and keep copies of any and all documentation related to your accident, including lost income, property damage costs, and medical reports.
