Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in Chattanooga

Thousands of people are injured each year in motorcycle accidents in Tennessee. There are various causes of a Cullman motorcycle crash, including:

• Driver fatigue: Those with disrupted sleep and those that drive commercially for a living are at a higher risk of suffering from driver fatigue. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, sleep deprivation has an effect on driving similar to impaired driving. Slow reaction time, ability to make sound decisions and falling asleep behind the wheel are signs of sleep-deprived driving.
• Weather and road conditions: The seasons bring challenges to roadways across the country. Fog, ice, floods, snow and heavy winds create driving hazards and limit visibility for safe driving. Additionally, poor road conditions contribute to accidents because drivers have less time to slow down to prevent a crash.
• Driver distractions: Some common distractions are passengers, cell phones, satellite radio, hands-free devices and outside distractions.
• Drunk Driving: Hundreds are killed each year in accidents involving alcohol and drugs in Tennessee.
• Swerving in front of a cyclist
• Cutting off motorcyclists at intersections
• Failing to follow posted speed limits
• Failing to yield when appropriate
• Tailgating
• Failure to see a motorcyclist changing or entering lanes

What to do After A Chattanooga Motorcycle Accident

If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident, it is necessary that you take specific measures in order to strengthen your claim to recover compensation. Make sure you do the following:

• Immediately file an accident report with the police, sheriff or highway patrol if the agency has not done so at the scene.
• Write down the name, address, insurance information, vehicle license number and driver’s license number of any and all persons involved in the accident. Record names, addresses and telephone numbers of all witnesses.
• Do not discuss the accident or your injuries with anyone, with the exception of your doctor and your attorney.
• Obtain photographs of the accident scene, all vehicles involved (before repairing) and any visible injuries to the parties involved, such as cuts, bruises, and scars.
• Do not consent to a recorded statement or sign any document. Innocent statements made by you attempting to assist an insurance adjuster can easily be misinterpreted and used to deny or minimize your recovery.
• Immediately seek medical attention and tell your doctor the nature and extent of your pain and injury and how the injury occurred.
• Track Your Expenses.
