Motorcycle Accidents
In 2009, 4,595 deaths occurred as a result of motorcycle accidents. More than 84,000 people were injured.
Motorcycle accidents usually cause life-altering injuries and even death. From weather and road conditions, to texting and distracted drivers and 18-wheelers on the road, motorcyclists are at risk the moment they get on their bikes. Bikers do understand the hazards of the open road. However, despite taking every precaution and safety measure, accidents happen all too often.
39 times more likely
than car occupants
to die in a crash per
and eight times
more likely to be
injured, according to
NHTSA.
On top of it all, automobile drivers show little respect for motorcyclists, placing bikers at great risk for injury or death. Even though drivers most often cause motorcycle accidents, a stigma attaches to the perceived dangers of motorcycles, which sometimes makes these cases challenging.
Without witnesses, cases sometimes come down to “he said, she said.” Many times, an accident reconstruction expert is necessary to get to the truth.
