Motorcycle Accident Injury

How an Attorney Can Get You Back on Your Bike after an Accident

Motorcycles offer undeniable freedom and can turn an everyday commute into an exhilarating experience. This feeling of liberation is what attracts riders to them but it is also what lends to some alarming statistics. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), motorcycles make up only around 3% of vehicles on the road but are nearly 30 times more likely to be in a serious accident than cars.

Although motorcyclists tend to go slower than larger cars, bikers are much more vulnerable to the external environment (such as rain or snow). They are also unprotected from road hazards like stray objects and poor road conditions. Relative to driving a car, a motorcyclist also has to pay closer attention to his or her maneuvering ability at all times, which could be both mentally and physically taxing.

Litigation involving motorcycles can also be complex, as jurors and insurance companies often view them as “risky” or inherently reckless.
