When you’ve suffered an injury and need the services of a motorcycle accident lawyer in Vancouver, keep in mind that there are variety of different hazards that motorcyclists face on the roadway – road debris, potholes, bad weather and uneven pavement. While to other vehicles these are not problematic they can pose huge problems for motorcyclist. However the greatest danger faced by motorcyclists on the road is not foul weather conditions or poor road maintenance, it is far and away other vehicles. Motorcycles are often difficult for other drivers to detect because motorcycles by their very nature are smaller vehicles that cannot be seen by others using the roadway. It is not surprising that most motorcycles accidents occur when cars, trucks, or buses are changing lanes or turning left at intersection. Given that motorcycle operators often drive faster than others on the roadway it is also not surprising that more of these accidents happen at great speed resulting in head injuries and other orthopedic injuries which are often catastrophic in nature.
