Northern Kentucky Motorcycle Accident Lawyers
Last updated on April 21, 2025
Much of the risk of riding a motorcycle in Northern Kentucky comes from the drivers around you. If a motorcycle accident occurs, it is the rider of the motorcycle who is most likely to suffer severe or even fatal injuries. All it takes is one other driver to make a critical mistake and cause the crash – such as turning left in front of the motorcycle.

What Are Some Common Injuries In Motorcycle Accidents?
Motorcycle accident injuries can take many forms, depending on factors like the safety gear worn by the rider, the speed of the crash and the size difference between the vehicles. Common injuries include:
- Broken bones and compound fractures
- Internal injuries and internal bleeding
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
- Spinal cord injuries (SCIs)
- Burn injuries
- Road rash
When considering your specific injuries, be sure to think about both the short- and long-term costs – including a reduced earning capacity due to disfigurement or disability.
Motorcycle Riding Safety Tips
Becoming a defensive rider and anticipating the mistakes that other drivers may make is perhaps the most important part of riding a motorcycle safely. Consider the following tips.
- Always maintain proper following distances
- Watch closely for vehicles that may turn in front of your bike
- Improve visibility by riding with your headlights on or wearing a high-visibility vest or helmet
- Avoid distractions, such as using a cellphone while riding
These proactive steps can go a long way toward helping you stay safe on the road.
Frequently Asked Questions
We understand that you may have questions. Here are a few that we commonly receive:
What if the driver who hit me doesn’t have insurance?
If you have uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage as part of your auto insurance policy, you may be able to use that coverage to seek proper compensation. You may also have the option to sue the other driver directly, even if they don’t have insurance.
Is lane-splitting while riding a motorcycle legal in Kentucky?
Lane-splitting – the practice of riding between lines of vehicles, especially to filter to the front at red lights – is prohibited in Kentucky. While it is legal in some other states, it is not permitted under Kentucky law.
