Motorcycle Crash Attorney Fults, IL

Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Fults

Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Fults. Motorcycles allow a feeling of freedom that other vehicles cant match. Unfortunately, motorcycles are not nearly as safe as other vehicles and their accidents often result in fatalities. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2015 alone, 136 motorcycle riders died after an ensuing accident in Illinois. The total number of traffic fatalities for Illinois in 2015 was 998. That’s combining all vehicles. If you’ve been injured because of a motorcycle accident, it is important to seek qualified and experienced legal help.

Motorcycle Accident Statistics – Fults Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Motorcycles are tight, fast-moving vehicles. They aren’t as protective and trucks and cars and that’s because they aren’t meant to be. The lack of these protections also means that motorcycle accidents are far more likely to result in serious injuries or fatalities. Here are reasons why motorcycle accidents can be so catastrophic:

  • These vehicles are much lighter than trucks or cars.
  • A lack of serious and live-saving protective elements.
  • The lack of safety equipment that can come into action in the event of a scooter or motorcycle accident (Such equipment, for example, includes seat belts and air bags, both of which are standard in passenger vehicles but not part of motorcycle or scooter equipment.) 
  • Lack of Helmets. 71% of Motorcycle Accident Fatalities in the State of Illinois happened because of a lack of a helmet.

What are the Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents?

Motorcycle Accidents may often involve another driver who is operating their vehicle while impaired or negligently. Examples of another driver’s negligence or recklessness causing scooter or motorcycle accidents include (but are not limited to):

  • Operating their vehicle while drunk or impaired
  • Driving while fatigued, which can be as risky as drunk driving
  • Operating a vehicle that doesn’t meet road safety standards
  • Driving while talking on cell phones, trying to use vehicle GPS systems or succumbing to other distractions that take the focus off of the road
  • Driving without the proper safety training (which can be a particularly important concern when it comes to motorcycle accidents involve commercial truck drivers)
  • Speeding, failing to use blinkers when changing lanes, running red lights or otherwise failing to comply with essential traffic laws
