Motorcycle accidents cause a much higher incidence of death and injury per accident than do car accidents. If you are involved in an accident and you are on a motorcycle, you are 3 times more likely to be injured and 14 times more likely to be killed. Helmet laws, enacted in many states, are helping to reduce these numbers, but motorcyclists still have a greater risk of death or injury than those in automobiles. Road hazards are more dangerous on motorcycles than cars, so watch for bumps, cracks in the road, loose gravel or any other condition that might cause you to lose control.

It is always wise to take precautions when riding a motorcycle, including:
Wear a helmet and require your passengers to do so. (Read about Passenger Liability)

Obey the traffic laws, especially in regard to speeding, passing, and following too closely.

Remember that you are not as large or as visible as an automobile, so do all you can to increase your own visibility, such as riding with the headlight on at all times and wearing reflective clothing after dark.

Be sure you are able to control the motorcycle while carrying a passenger and insist that the passenger obey your directions.

Road hazards have a much greater affect on motorcycles, so watch for bumps, cracks in the road, loose gravel or any other condition that might cause you to lose control.

The initial motorcycle accident consultation is free of charge, and if we agree to handle your motorcycle accident case, we will work on a contingency fee basis, which means we get paid for our services only if there is a monetary recovery of funds. A lawsuit must be filed before an applicable expiration date, known as a statute of limitations, so please call right away to ensure that you do not waive your right to possible compensation.
