What Are Common Causes of Quincy, MO Motorcycle Accidents?

While each accident is different, statistics show that the vast majority of motorcycle accidents fall into the following categories:

Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol or Drugs

Drunk driving accidents are the most common type of traffic-related accidents, and in the U.S. it kills approximately one person every three quarters of an hour. Drunk driving contributed to over three-tenths of motorcycle accident deaths.

Road Hazards

Because motorcycles only have two wheels, road hazards such as uneven pavement, inclement weather, potholes, and poorly placed signs create a heightened risk. 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 that was in charge of ensuring the road's safety.

Left-Hand Turns

Over 40 percent 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 looking. This is caused by "inattentional blindness," a phenomenon in which our brains are scanning for cars, but don't register motorcycles at cars.

Speeding

Over 30 percent of motorcycle fatalities were caused at least in part by speeding. While many of those crashes are caused by a speeding motorcycles, it often is the fault of car or truck drivers who force a biker to react quicker than they can safely do so.

Rear-End Accidents
