Arizona Motorcycle Lawyer for Sport Bike Accidents
Sport Bikes have become increasingly popular but their small size also makes them more susceptible to being hit by inattentive drivers. If you are a sport bike rider who has been involved in an accident, consult with an attorney to discuss your case.
PHOENIX, AZ, July 27, 2009 /Motorcycles PR News/ -- Sport bikes have become increasingly popular in recent years. These small, high-performance bikes are popular among recreational riders and also as a replacement for cars for everyday commuting. Unfortunately, while these bikes have many advantages that make them great for commuting to work, their small size also makes them more susceptible to being hit by inattentive drivers.
The statistics show that the majority of car-motorcycle accidents are caused by the driver of the car not seeing the motorcycle and failing to yield to the motorcyclist's right of way. However, due to sport bikes' capacity for high speeds and the popular notion that sport bike riders are reckless, a sport bike rider may face discrimination from insurance companies and in court, even if they have done nothing wrong.
If you are a sport bike rider who has been involved in an accident in Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa, or elsewhere in Maricopa County, you should consult with an Arizona motorcycle attorney to discuss your case.
About Sport Bikes
Sport bikes, which are distinguished by their ability to be used both for weekend racing and everyday commuting, first became popular in the 1970s through Japanese manufacturers such as Kawasaki and Honda. Today, they are one of the most popular bikes for everyday use.
Sport bikes typically have a lightweight frame and are known for their speed, acceleration, braking, and maneuverability. The braking and maneuverability in particular are what make them popular for commuters navigating congested streets and freeways.
Risk for Accidents
The number one cause of car-motorcycle accidents is inattentive drivers not seeing the motorcycle in time to prevent the accident. This risk is increased for smaller motorcycles like sport bikes, which are more difficult to see than larger bikes such as cruiser models.
Due to smaller taillights and a need for greater stopping distance, sport bikes are at risk for rear-end accidents from tailgating drivers. They are also at a higher risk for accidents at intersections from drivers making left or right turns in front of them.
Risk for Injuries
All motorcycle riders are at a much higher risk for serious injuries and death than are automobile drivers. Sport bike riders, like all motorcyclists, are at risk of suffering head injuries, spinal cord injuries, road rash, and broken bones. Sport bike riders in particular are in danger of suffering road rash and broken bones from being thrown from their bikes.
Discrimination
As mentioned earlier, sport bike riders may face discrimination from insurance companies and in court because of prejudice against motorcycle riders. Because sport bikes are built for high performance and high speed on the race track, riders may be thought to be at fault even if they did nothing wrong.
