Causes of Motorcycle AccidentsThere are many causes of motorcycle accidents. However, the most common causes occur when drivers fail to paying attention to their surroundings. As a result, drivers often rear end motorcycles, change lanes into motorcycles, or make a left turn into the oncoming path of motorcycles. In fact, the left hand turn is a common cause of many motorcycle accidents in Chicago, Illinois and the outlying suburbs. Driver inattention often occurs when the driver is distracted. There are many causes of driver distraction. These causes include talking on the cell phone, attempting to eat, change the radio station, applying makeup, and attempting to talk and look at other passengers.
In addition to driver inattention, there are still other causes of motorcycle accidents. These other causes include driving to close to the rider, speeding, sleepiness, fatigue, alcohol, and/or drugs. Of course, there may be other causes based on the unique facts of the particular accident.
Motorcycle Accident InjuriesThere are many injuries that can occur from a motorcycle accident. These injuries include soft tissue injuries such abrasions (or road rash), contusions (bruises), lacerations (cuts), sprains, and strains.
