Homestead Losing Control on Turns
One common type of motorcycle accident in Homestead occurs when a motorcyclist loses control on turns. When motorcyclists make a turn, they have to lean slightly into the turn, but many things can go wrong that can lead to a spin out and losing of control. This situation can quickly become very dangerous, as the driver slides into the turn and slides across the road.

Why Do Accidents Happen On Turns?There are many reasons why a motorcyclist may lose control and turn:
- A manufacturing flaw or tire defect could cause the motorcycle to tip
- The motorcyclist may swerve to avoid a car or an accident, leading to losing control
- Poor road conditions and potholes can interfere with the turn
- Poor road design may mean that there is not enough room to make the turn safely
- A car may block or crowd the motorcyclist, leading the motorcyclist to lean too far
- Motorcycles are vulnerable on turns because riders must lean into the turns
- Weather conditions can negatively impact a turn
- Fatigue, illness, distraction or other issues can lead to rider errors
These types of accidents often result in catastrophic injuries since there's often very little to protect the motorcyclist other than a jacket and a helmet. Unfortunately, when motorcyclists lose control on turns, they can become pinned underneath the weight of their motorcycle or they can go into a long slide or crash into a stationary object while trying to complete their turn. This can lead to many catastrophic injuries, including:
- Head injuries
- Facial injuries
- Eye injuries
- Paralysis
- Amputations
- Fractures
- Disfigurement
- Soft tissue injuries
- Internal injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Fatalities
