Why Do Motorcycle Accidents Happen in Glendale, MO?

While the exact causes leading up to an accident are unique, statistics show that the following circumstances either cause or contribute to most motorcycle accidents:

Driving Under the Influence

Drunk driving accidents are the most common type of motor vehicle accidents, and in the U.S. it kills roughly one person every three quarters of an hour. Drunk driving was found to be involved in over three-tenths of motorcycle fatalities.

Road Hazards

Because motorcycles have less of a base than other vehicles, they are especially vulnerable to road hazards such as ruts in the road, slippery surfaces, potholes, and debris. Even if you were not hit by another person, if your injuries were caused by a road hazard, you may be able to make a claim against a government agency or construction company that was supposed to verify the road was safe for vehicle traffic.

Left-Hand Turns

Forty-two percent of motorcycle accidents that lead to death occur when a vehicle turns left and hits a motorcyclist going straight. It's hard for many people to notice motorcyclists, even if they're being diligent about safety. This is caused by "inattentional blindness," a phenomenon in which our brains are more used to looking for cars than motorcycles.

Speeding

Over 30 percent of fatal motorcycle accidents had speeding as a contributing factor. While some bikers are known to speed, 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 cars or trucks, and many motorcyclists downshift to break, preventing the break lights from coming on. It is still the responsibility of the other vehicle to give you enough space to break safely.
