What Is a Highside Accident?

Highside accidents, also called highsiders, occur when the rear tire of the motorcycle locks up, loses traction, and slides out to the side of the bike, and then suddenly regains traction. Because the front wheel is facing one way and the rear wheel is facing a different way, the resulting jolt of the rear wheel regaining traction throws the rider in front of the bike.

Common causes for highside motorcycle accidents include:

• Locking up the rear tire and then releasing the brake
• Overcorrecting during a rear-wheel slide or skid
• Accelerating too hard out of a turn
• Motorcycle malfunctions, such as an engine seizure or a loose chain
• Unsafe merging

These accidents can lead to serious bodily injury if the bike slams into or runs over the rider and this can result in expensive medical bills and long-term financial consequences. If you have been injured in a highside crash, it is important to get knowledgeable legal representation as soon as possible. With the Kansas City highside accident attorneys at Schmitt Law Firm, LLC, you can get efficient services to strive for a beneficial outcome in your case.
