Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in West Palm Beach & the Treasure Coast

Motorcyclists are at a much higher risk of injury when accidents occur. Unfortunately, other motorists often fail to respect the space of motorcyclists traveling alongside them. When this happens, the possibility of a collision increases. Some of the most common causes of motorcycle accidents in West Palm Beach and on the Treasure Coast include:

  • Aggressive Driving
  • Failing to Observe Traffic Rules
  • Speeding
  • Distracted Driving
  • Driving Under the Influence
  • Road Hazards

The attorneys at Ehrlich & Naparstek have decades of experience handling motorcycle crash cases. Our dedicated team will examine the details of your accident to determine if negligence occurred. We’ll also evaluate your damages in order to calculate the appropriate amount of compensation to fight for.

Injuries Resulting From a Motorcycle Accident

Even if a motorcyclist is wearing a helmet, they can potentially sustain a wide range of serious injuries. Sometimes the extent of these injuries can render a person permanently disabled. This can lead to inability to earn an income or engage in routine activities. Some of the most common injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident include:

  • Spinal Cord Injuries
  • Traumatic Brain Injury
  • Broken Bones
  • Road Rash
  • Internal Injuries
  • Soft Tissue Injuries

Along with pain and disability, these injuries can also cause emotional trauma.
