Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle riders are in a unique position on the road. They enjoy the
freedoms that come with their chosen form of transportation, but they are also
left exposed to dangers not met by other motorists. The
lack of any protective barriers between a motorcycle, another vehicle and the road,
as well as the difficulty that other motorists may have in anticipating and
seeing a motorcycle, leave riders prone to serious injury in the event of an
accident. Motorcycle riders must be aware of their legal rights and remedies if
they are involved in a traffic accident.
The Risks of the Road for Motorcycle Riders
The risks that motorcycle riders face, and the need to protect their
rights of |
recovery
after an accident, become readily apparent through a review
of the following statistics:
|
-
In two-thirds of motorcycle accidents involving another vehicle, the
driver of the other vehicle violated the motorcycle rider's right of way and
caused the accident.
-
Motorcyclists are about 26 times more likely to die in a crash than
someone riding in a passenger car, and are 5 times as likely to be injured.
-
Per
mile traveled in 1998, motorcyclists were about 16 times more likely than
passenger car occupants to die in a motor vehicle crash and about 3 times as
likely to be injured.
