Illinois Accident Attorneys Represent Injured Motorcyclists
Will County Law Firm Focuses on Holding Distracted Drivers Responsible for the Accidents They Cause
Most vehicles on the road are not motorcycles – they are cars, vans, SUVs, and other passenger vehicles. But even though these motorists outnumber motorcyclists, they still have a responsibility to keep riders safe on the road.
According to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NTHSA), when motorcycles and other vehicles are involved in an accident, it is usually because the driver of the passenger vehicle violated the motorcyclist’s right of way. As a result, there is an ongoing necessity to help other motorists be aware of motorcycles and educate motorcyclists about this issue as well.
Why Do Drivers Violate the Right of Way of Motorcyclists?
There are a number of reasons why drivers are frequently guilty of violating the right of way of motorcyclists, and these are some of the most common:
- The motorcyclist is obstructed from the driver’s view due to blind spots or the presence of other vehicles.
- The driver is operating a vehicle while distracted.
