Motorcycle Accidents In Kentucky
Motorcycles can be a fun and exciting way to navigate the roads of Kentucky, but they also carry inherent risks. All it takes is one other driver to make a mistake and cause a serious motorcycle accident. This could lead to severe injuries for the rider – including fatal injuries or lifelong disabilities.

Common Causes Of Motorcycle Accidents
Common reasons for motorcycle accidents on U.S. Highway 60 and other roads across the state include:
● Distracted driving
● Drunk driving
● Mistakes causing intersection accidents, such as drivers going out of turn or turning left in front of motorcycles
● Tailgating
● Inattentional blindness – when a driver looks at a motorcycle and still does not see it because they are not expecting to see it
● Wrong-way drivers
● Aggressive drivers, such as those who do not give motorcycles enough space when passing
Though there are many individual causes of motorcycle accidents, the most common issue is that other drivers just make negligent mistakes. It is our job to hold these drivers responsible when seeking compensation.
Injuries Common To Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accident injuries can be severe, and may include:
● Road rash
● Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
● Spinal cord injury (SCI)
● Broken bones
● Burn injuries, including third-degree burns
● Amputation injuries
● Cuts and lacerations
● Internal bleeding and other internal injuries
Many of these injuries can have long-term effects, leading to extensive medical care, lost wages and more. It is important to seek all possible compensation, not just compensation for short-term costs.
