What Causes Motorcycle Accidents in Concord, MO?

While the specific circumstances surrounding each accident are unique, statistics show that the following circumstances either cause or contribute to most motorcycle accidents:

Drunk Driving

Drunk driving contributes to more traffic-related accidents than any other single factor, and in the U.S. it kills about one person every three quarters of an hour. Drunk driving was a factor in over a third of of fatal motorcycle crashes.

Road Hazards

Because motorcycles have less of a base than other vehicles, motorcycle are especially vulnerable to road hazards such as ruts in the road, slippery surfaces, potholes, and debris. Even if another motorist was not involved in your accident, if your injuries were caused by a road hazard, you may be able to make a claim against a government agency or construction company responsible for maintaining the road.

Left-Hand Turns

Over 40 percent of motorcycle accidents that lead to death occur at intersections when a passenger car turning left hits a motorcyclist going straight. This is often just a consequence of drivers failing to see motorcyclists, even if they're looking. This is due to something called "inattentional blindness," a phenomenon in which our brains cannot process a smaller vehicle like a motorcycle because of how much sensory information we receive as we drive.

Speeding

Thirty-three percent of motorcycle crash deaths involve speeding. While many of those crashes are caused by a speeding motorcycles, it often is the fault of passenger car drivers who force a biker to embark on emergency falls.

Rear-End Accidents

Motorcycles do not need as much room to break as other vehicles, and many motorcyclists use alternative breaking methods like downshifting, meaning a trailing car won't see their brake lights. It is still the responsibility of the other vehicle to give you enough space to break safely.
