Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in Chicago
Motorcycle crashes often happen because of careless drivers. Common contributing factors include:
- Speeding: Exceeding speed limits is a common factor that leads to accidents.
- Distracted driving: Attention lapses from phone use or other distractions can be fatal.
- Poor road conditions: Potholes, uneven roads, and slippery surfaces often contribute to crashes.
- Driver inexperience: Lack of skill can result in poor decision-making on the road.
- Visibility issues: Motorcycles are smaller and harder to see, making them more vulnerable to being overlooked by other drivers.
Another common cause is left-turning vehicles. Motorists at intersections often fail to see oncoming bikers or misjudge their distance.
When Are Fatal Motorcycle Accidents Wrongful Deaths?
In Illinois, a “wrongful death” refers to a fatality caused by the negligence or wrongful actions of another. A fatal motorcycle crash may be a wrongful death if another driver’s carelessness or recklessness contributed to the accident. In these situations, families and surviving loved ones may be entitled to compensation for their immense loss. Our motorcycle accident attorneys can evaluate your situation and advise you on whether you have a wrongful death case.
