Why Left-Turn Accidents Are So Dangerous for Motorcyclists
Left-turn accidents are the leading cause of motorcycle fatalities in the United States. The scenario is tragically common: a car or truck waiting to turn left across traffic fails to see an approaching motorcycle, misjudges the motorcycle’s speed, or simply does not look carefully enough before turning. The motorcycle slams into the turning vehicle’s broadside with almost no time to react.
The physics of these crashes are devastating. A motorcycle traveling at 45 mph has almost zero time to stop when a vehicle turns left 50 feet ahead. Unlike car-on-car T-bone accidents, the motorcyclist has no structural protection — no doors, no airbags, no crumple zone. The rider absorbs the full impact force directly.
Georgia Auto Law has extensive experience proving that the turning driver violated O.C.G.A. § 40-6-71 (failure to yield to oncoming traffic) and overcoming the insurer’s attempts to blame the motorcyclist for speed or visibility.
