Failure to Yield Accidents

Types of Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists must follow the same right-of-way rules as drivers of passenger vehicles. Often, other motorists do not understand or uphold these rights and violate the motorcyclists’ right of way.

Motorcycle collisions involving a bike and passenger vehicle are common and often caused by the other driver’s failure to yield. Often, failure-to-yield motorcycle accidents occur when:

• The driver doesn’t check their blind spot and sideswipes a motorcycle
• The driver turns in front of a motorcyclist without using turn signals
• The driver crowds the biker, causing him or her to run off the road or into oncoming traffic
