Lake County Attorneys Focus on Maximum Recovery for Motorcycle Accident Victims
Motorcyclists are approximately 30 times more likely to die in an accident than are the occupants of cars, and nearly 40 percent of all motorcycle accidents involve a distracted or inattentive driver. While many motorcyclists are well trained and take safety courses to help them maneuver their bikes, they are often the unfortunate victims of the estimated 800,000 drivers who are sending text messages instead of keeping their attention focused on the road.
Texting Most Distracting and Dangerous
Although talking on the phone, eating, adjusting the stereo, and talking to passengers often distract the operators of passenger vehicles, texting is by far the most dangerous distraction, since it requires three physical and mental actions at once, and draws a driver’s attention away from the road (as well as motorcycles and other vehicles traveling nearby) for at least five seconds.
If you encounter a distracted driver, do not hesitate to report them to law enforcement as soon as possible.
