Brittany Bowman Injured in Mt. Juliet Motorcycle Accident

Q: Why do drivers turn in front of motorcycles on roads like Nonaville Road?

Investigators often find that drivers misjudge the speed and distance of approaching motorcycles due to their smaller visual profile. When a vehicle violates a rider's right of way, the motorcyclist has minimal time to execute evasive maneuvers. Insurance adjusters frequently attempt to contact injured riders while they are still hospitalized, before the full extent of long-term medical costs—such as prosthetics and extended rehabilitation—are known. National Legal Analyst Stefano Formica, of Counsel at Bond Legal, observed that "Nobody thinks about tire contact patches until they're sliding across the pavement. A bike only has two small spots of rubber touching the road, so it's much harder to stop."
