Sometimes, motorcyclists are forced off the road by another vehicle and are injured when their motorbike crashes. Crashes that occur in this manner are called phantom driver incidents.
In Missouri, a motorcyclist would be able to recover damages for their injures if they were forced off the road by another driver. In these cases, the other driver may not have been aware that they forced the motorcyclist off the road, and a motorcyclist could pursue a claim even if there was no direct contact between their motorcycle and the other vehicle.
