Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in Fairfield, Ohio
Many factors can contribute to a motorcycle accident in Fairfield, Ohio. Unfortunately, many motorcycle accidents happen because passenger vehicle drivers are distracted, aren’t sharing the road with riders, are breaking the rules of the road, or are drunk. Motorcycle riders might have a reputation for thrill-seeking, but many riders are highly trained, understand the risks of riding, and take steps to protect themselves.
When passenger vehicle drivers speed, text, and drive, drink and drive, change lanes illegally, run stop signs, run red lights, or otherwise violate the rules of the road, motorcycle accidents can take place.
