Motorcyclist Seriously Injured after Hitting a Ladder that Fell from a Truck on a Kansas City Highway

How many times have you been driving down the road and seen something fall of a truck. Loose objects that fall off other vehicles sometimes can fall harmlessly to the side of the road, but more often than not, they can cause a very serious injury accident. The worst part? You can be held accountable for any damages that happen.

A great example of this danger happened last week in Kansas City when a motorcyclist was seriously injured because he was unable to avoid a ladder that had fallen off an equipment truck on I-435 near Blue Parkway.  The motorcycle hit the ladder, throwing the rider from the bike.  The victim was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.

 

As experienced Kansas City Motorcycle Accident Attorneys we want to remind and urge all motorists in Kansas and Missouri to practice safe and attentive driving techniques. This means more than just sharing the road. You are responsible for your vehicle, including maintenance and making sure loose objects-- such as coolers, ladder and other heavy and possibly dangerous pieces of equipment-- are properly secured.

 

Remember-- Motorcycles have the same rights to the road as drivers in cars and trucks. We all have the same traffic laws and should all be expected to follow them. When one person decides to be selfish and not follow these rules, the fact is, people can die. Drive Safe. Drive Smart.
