Motorcycle Accident Claims San Francisco Man's Life

Online, August 9, 2012 (Newswire.com) - A motorcycle accident killed a man last weekend in San Francisco. Like 3 quarters of all motorcycle accidents it involved colliding with a passenger vehicle. In this case that passenger vehicle was a van.

The head-on collision occurred in the early morning hours around 9 AM. The van driver cooperated with authorities. The Blackman Legal Group highly recommends when involved in an accident to stay at the scene and cooperate with any questions police officers have.

If the questions get to penetrating it's usually good to contact an attorney to be present during questioning. Especially if there is fault to be had it's good to seek protection.

In this incident it's unclear which driver crossed over the middle lane causing the crash. The investigation is ongoing but is little comfort to the young motorcycle driver's family. Driver error is the most common cause of all car crashes.

Two of the biggest driver errors are distraction and mobile devices. Texting has been proven by various studies to increase by 300% or more the chances of causing a collision. It's not known whether texting and driving was involved in this crash.

Authorities and educators everywhere advise never texting while driving. It's possible to fire off a quick text while stopped at a stoplight. Or if it simply can't wait, call the other person and talk with them live using speakerphone. Or a headset or Bluetooth device can substitute for using speakerphone.

Staying out of driver error is critical to limiting personal liability. Mechanical failure accounts for less than 5% of crashes in car accidents on the roadways. I most motorcycle accidents involving just the single vehicle control was lost due to a puncture flat.
