What Are Common Causes of Shrewsbury, MO Motorcycle Accidents?

While the specific causes leading up to an accident are unique, in our experience, the following circumstances either cause or contribute to most motorcycle accidents:

Drunk Driving

Drunk driving accidents are the most common type of motor vehicle accidents, and in the U.S. it kills roughly one person every 45 minutes. Drunk driving was a factor in over three-tenths of motorcycle accident deaths.

Road Hazards

Because a car with 4 wheels is much more stable than a motorcycle, road hazards such as uneven pavement, inclement weather, potholes, and signs that limit visibility create an increased risk. If your accident was caused by a road hazard, the liable party may be a government entity or construction company.

Left-Hand Turns

Almost 50 percent of motorcycle accidents that cause death occur a motorcycle driving straight ahead is struck by a vehicle turning left. This is often just a consequence of drivers failing to see motorcyclists, even if they're judiciously checking their blind spots. This is due to something called "inattentional blindness," a phenomenon in which our brains scan for cars but has not been sufficiently trained to scan for motorcycles.

Speeding

Over 30 percent of motorcycle fatalities had speeding as a contributing factor. While many of those crashes are caused by a speeding motorcycles, it often is the fault of car or truck drivers driving too fast to be able to maneuver around a motorcycle safely.

Rear-End Accidents

Motorcycles do not need as much room to break as passenger cars, and many motorcyclists downshift to break, so a motorist behind them won't see the passenger car. Still, just as in a crash between two cars, the driver behind the other vehicle is almost always at complete fault for the accident.
