Left-Turn Motorcycle Accident Lawyers 

Left-Turn Crashes: The Ugly Truth No One’s Telling You 

You’re riding along, feeling the wind, enjoying the road—and then it happens. A car turns left right in front of you. No time to stop. No way to avoid it. A wreck like this isn’t just painful—it’s life-changing. And if you don’t have the right personal injury lawyer on your side, the insurance company will do everything they can to cheat you out of what you deserve. 

At Horn Wright, LLP, we go after the drivers who didn’t watch for you and the insurance companies that don’t want to pay. Our motorcycle accident attorneys can make all of the difference in getting the compensation you deserve. 

Why Do Left-Turn Accidents Happen? The Real Reasons No One Admits 

Ever notice how drivers act like motorcycles are invisible? They look right at you, but somehow, they don’t see you. That’s how left-turn crashes happen.  

• Drivers aren’t looking for motorcycles. Studies show car drivers fail to detect motorcycles in 65% of crashes. Their brains are wired to focus on bigger vehicles, and that blind spot puts your life at risk. 
• They misjudge your speed. Drivers constantly underestimate motorcycle speed. They think they have time to turn—until it’s too late. 
• They’re distracted. Texting, GPS, kids in the backseat—anything can steal their attention. A three-second glance away? That’s all it takes. 
• They break the rules. Rolling through a stop sign, running a red light, failing to yield—drivers do it all the time. And when they do, you’re the one in danger. 
• Drunk or high behind the wheel. Impaired drivers are everywhere. One in four fatal motorcycle crashes involves alcohol-impaired driving. You can’t control what they do, but when they cause a crash, you can hold them accountable. 

But it gets worse—many drivers panic after they hit a motorcyclist. Some flee the scene. Others give misleading statements to the police. Having our motorcycle crash lawyers on your side right after the crash can help protect your rights and preserve important evidence in your case. 

What You Do in the First 24 Hours After a Crash Matters 

The steps you take immediately after a motorcycle crash can make or break your case. 

• Call 911 – Always report the accident. A police report is critical evidence. 
• Get medical help – Even if you think you’re okay, see a doctor. Some injuries don’t show symptoms right away. It is best to get an MRI of your injuries. 
• Take pictures – Document everything at the scene with your camera: your bike, the car, the intersection, and any injuries. 
• Get witness statements – If anyone saw the crash, get their contact info. Their testimony could prove what really happened. 
• Don’t admit fault – Even a simple “I’m sorry” can be twisted against you. Stick to the facts. 
• Talk to a lawyer ASAP – The sooner you get legal help, the better your chances of getting full compensation. 

Waiting too long to act gives insurance companies an advantage—one they’ll use to downplay or deny your claim. 

Think You Know Motorcycle Laws? One Mistake Could Cost You Everything 

Knowing the law doesn’t just keep you safe—it protects your rights if you ever need to file a motorcycle crash lawsuit. But here’s the problem: insurance companies love using legal loopholes to deny payouts. Here’s what you need to know: 

• Helmet laws matter. Some states require them, some don’t. It’s proven to reduce head injuries by 69% and lower the risk of death by 42%. Even in states without helmet laws, insurance companies may try to reduce your settlement if you weren’t wearing one. 
• Lane splitting is a gray area in many states. If a driver hits you while your lane is splitting, expect their insurance to fight you on liability. 
• Right-of-way laws protect you. In almost every state, left-turning drivers must yield to oncoming traffic. That means if they cut you off, they’re at fault. Period. 
• Insurance requirements vary. Some states let riders go without coverage, but if you get hit by an uninsured driver, that’s bad news. One in eight drivers has no insurance. If you don’t carry uninsured motorist coverage, you could be stuck paying for someone else’s mistake. 

How Much Is Your Left-Turn Motorcycle Accident Claim Worth? 

Your claim isn’t just about fixing your bike. It’s about everything you’ve lost. 

• Medical bills – Hospital stays, surgeries, and rehab. Motorcycle crash victims spend an average of $4,000+ on medical care. 
• Lost wages – If you can’t work, you deserve compensation for every missed paycheck. 
• Pain and suffering – Broken bones, surgeries, trauma—you don’t just “get over” a crash. Your pain matters. 
• Bike damage – A totaled bike? That’s thousands of dollars lost. If the driver was at fault, their insurance should pay.
