Motorcycles are small and fast and often go unnoticed by distracted drivers. When it comes to determining the fault of a motorcycle vs. car accident, more often than not the responsible party of the collision is the driver of the car. In order to determine fault for a motorcycle accident, you must first call the police to file an accurate police report with witness statements. Insurance companies depend on the police to file accurate reports to allow them to have the details they need to determine who the at-fault party may be. Officers on the scene have abilities for figuring out who is to blame by examining the vehicles damages, injuries and gathering other evidence to determine whom the negligent driver is. Unfortunately, motorcycles accidents are fairly common particularly on the grounds that drivers do not generally see them. In the event that the motorcycle was splitting lanes aggressively and weaving in and out of traffic, it will most likely be the fault of the motorcycle rider.
