Motorcycle Accidents in Delaware
Delaware has a significant number of motorcycle accidents each year, with urban and suburban areas seeing higher rates due to heavy traffic and busy intersections. Motorcycles are particularly vulnerable because they offer less protection than cars or trucks. Collisions with larger
vehicles, such as buses and trucks, often lead to serious injuries or fatalities.
Many motorcycle crashes result from factors such as speeding, failure to yield, distracted driving, or unsafe lane changes. Understanding these common causes can help riders stay vigilant and reduce their risk on Delaware roads.
Common injuries in motorcycle crashes include broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, and spinal cord trauma. Even low-speed accidents can result in severe damage due to the lack of physical barriers around the rider. Protective gear like helmets and jackets can reduce risk, but accidents still frequently lead to hospitalizations.
