What Are Common Causes of Ellisville, MO Motorcycle Accidents?

While no two accidents are alike, in our experience, the vast majority of motorcycle accidents fall into the following categories:

Driving Under the Influence

Drunk driving contributes to more motor vehicle 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 found to be involved in over three-tenths of motorcycle accident deaths.

Road Hazards

Because a car with 4 wheels is much more stable than one with 2 wheels, they are especially vulnerable to road hazards such as ruts in the road, slippery surfaces, potholes, and debris. If your accident was caused by a road hazard, the liable party may be a government entity or construction company.

Left-Hand Turns

Almost half of of fatal motorcycle crashes occur a motorcycle driving straight ahead is struck by a vehicle turning left. Motorcycles escape many people's attention, even if they're being diligent about safety. This is caused by "inattentional blindness," an occurrence in which our brains are scanning for cars, but don't register motorcycles at cars.

Speeding

Thirty-three percent of fatal motorcycle accidents involve speeding. While some bikers are known to speed, another culprit is passenger car drivers who force a biker to embark on emergency falls.

Rear-End Accidents

Motorcycles have a smaller breaking distance than other vehicles, and many motorcyclists use alternative breaking methods like downshifting, so a motorist behind them won't see the passenger car. It is still the responsibility of the other vehicle to slow down in time.
