What Causes Most Motorcycle Accidents in Prince George’s County?
Motorcycle accidents are often caused by drivers who fail to look twice or share the road. In Prince George’s County, busy roadways like the Beltway, Route 4, and Route 202 see frequent collisions between motorcycles and larger vehicles.
Some of the most common causes we’ve seen include:
- Cars turning left in front of motorcycles
- Drivers distracted by their phones
- Speeding and unsafe lane changes
- Failure to yield at intersections
- Poor road maintenance or unclear signage
In most cases, the motorcyclist did nothing wrong, but they suffer the worst injuries. Our firm investigates every detail of your crash to hold the at-fault party accountable and prove how their negligence caused your injuries.
The Injuries Can Be Catastrophic
There’s very little protection for a rider in a collision. Helmets and protective gear can help, but they can’t prevent the serious harm that comes with a direct impact.
We frequently work with riders who have suffered:
- Broken bones and fractures
- Road rash and soft tissue injuries
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
- Internal bleeding or organ damage
The physical recovery can be painful and slow. But the financial toll can be just as heavy—lost wages, hospital stays, surgeries, physical therapy, and more. Some injuries may leave you unable to return to your job or care for your family the way you once did. That’s why full compensation matters. We work with doctors and financial experts to understand the complete picture of your losses.
What to Do After a Motorcycle Crash
In the moments after a crash, it’s hard to think clearly. But the steps you take can make a difference in your case.
If you’re physically able, try to:
- Get medical attention immediately—even if you feel okay
- Call the police and get a copy of the accident report
- Take photos of the scene, your injuries, and any damage
- Collect witness information if possible
- Avoid speaking with insurance adjusters without a lawyer
Insurance companies often try to blame the motorcyclist or pressure you into settling fast. That’s where we come in. We protect your rights from day one and make sure you’re not taken advantage of.
