Motorcycle accidents can lead to catastrophic or fatal injures due to the lack of protection motorcyclist have compared to other vehicles on the road. Motorcycles are also less visible than other vehicles.

When accidents occur, many motorists claim they never saw the motorcycle when in reality they never even looked. There is also a bias against motorcyclists; many juries may feel that people who choose to ride motorcycles are predisposed to speeding and reckless driving.

Motorcyclists injured due to the negligence of other motorists deserve legal representation by a law firm with the resources to investigate their accident in order to prove negligence on the part of the other driver.

The Risks of Riding a Motorcycle

Motorcycles are inherently more dangerous than riding in cars. They only have two wheels and do not enclose the rider in metal like cars do, offering no barrier between the rider and the road. Motorcycles also require much more still than driving cars.

It is important that motorcycle riders receive professional training and always be aware of hazards on the road. Wearing proper protective clothing and a helmet can also help in reducing the risk of injury in the event of an accident.

If it is proven that your accident was caused by the negligence of another, you may be eligible for damages. You can receive compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage and more.
