Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in Decatur
Thousands are injured each year in motorcycle accidents in Alabama. There are various causes of a Decatur, Alabama motorcycle crash including:

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.
