Any injuries sustained are likely to be quite severe.

Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
One common cause of motorcycle accidents is when a driver in a larger vehicle fails to see a motorcyclist and hits the motorcycle. This is considered negligent driving because it is the duty of any driver to lookout for other vehicles, regardless of how small they may be.
Another common cause of these accidents is the action of other motorcyclists. When motorcyclists drive erratically they tend to cause accidents.
Hazardous road conditions are particularly challenging for motorcyclists such as wet weather, ice, potholes and poorly maintained roads. A motorcyclist may lose control of their bike because of inclement weather.
