What Causes Motorcycle Accidents in Nixa, MO?

While the specific circumstances surrounding each accident are unique, our team has seen that the vast majority of motorcycle accidents fall into the following categories:

DUIs or DWIs

Drunk driving accidents are the most common type of traffic-related accidents, and in the U.S. it kills approximately 32 people a day. Drunk driving contributed to over three-tenths of fatal motorcycle crashes.

Road Hazards

Because a car with 4 wheels is much more stable than a motorcycle, road hazards such as ruts in the road, slick surfaces, potholes, and gravel create a heightened risk. 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

Almost 50 percent of motorcycle accidents that cause death occur when a vehicle turns left and 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," an occurrence in which our brains are more used to looking for cars than motorcycles.

Speeding

Thirty-three percent of motorcycle fatalities involve speeding. While many of those crashes are caused by a speeding motorcycles, another culprit is passenger car drivers driving too fast to be able to maneuver around a motorcycle safely.

Rear-End Accidents

Motorcycles have a smaller breaking distance than cars or trucks, and many motorcyclists use alternative breaking methods like downshifting, preventing the break lights from coming on. Still, just as in a crash between two cars, the driver behind the other vehicle is almost always at complete fault for the accident.
