Motorcycle Accidents in Oklahoma
Motorcyclists are at a higher risk of severe injury in crashes, especially when colliding with larger vehicles like pickup trucks. Highways such as OK-65 see regular traffic from both passenger vehicles and motorcycles, increasing the potential for serious accidents when visibility or right-of-way rules are not properly observed.
Common causes of motorcycle accidents include failure to yield, distracted driving, and excessive speed. When a motorcyclist is involved in a crash, they often suffer catastrophic injuries such as broken bones, head trauma, or internal damage. These injuries can lead to extensive medical treatment and long-term rehabilitation.
Oklahoma law allows injured motorcyclists to seek compensation if another driver’s negligence contributed to the crash. Understanding your legal rights and options can be crucial in ensuring financial stability and medical recovery after an accident.
