What Causes Motorcycle Accidents in Pevely, MO?

  • While the specific causes leading up to an accident are unique, our team has seen that the following circumstances either cause or contribute to most motorcycle accidents:
  • Drunk Driving

    Drunk driving accidents are the most common cause of motor vehicle accidents, and in the U.S. it kills approximately one person every 45 minutes. Drunk driving was found to be involved in over a third of of motorcycle accident deaths.

    Road Hazards

    Because a car with 4 wheels is much more stable than a motorcycle, road hazards such as ruts in the road, slippery surfaces, potholes, and debris create an increased risk. If your accident was caused by a road hazard, the at-fault party may be a government entity or construction company.

    Left-Hand Turns

    Almost 50 percent of fatal motorcycle crashes occur at intersections when a car or truck turning left hits a motorcyclist who had the right of way. Motorcycles escape many people's attention, even if they're judiciously checking their blind spots. This is the result of "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

    A third of fatal motorcycle accidents involve speeding. While some bikers are known to speed, another culprit is passenger car drivers who force a biker to take evasive action.

    Rear-End Accidents

    Motorcycles decelerate faster than passenger cars, 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.
