For years motorcycles have been a means of transportation and recreation for many Americans. In fact, there are over four million motorcycles currently registered throughout the country. With the safety and cosmetic improvements that motorcycles have undergone in recent years, the vehicle's popularity has only increased over time. In the past twenty-five years, the average age of a motorcycle rider has gone from 24 to 38 years old, which may be an indicator that the riders from the 1980's are still enjoying this favorite pastime.
There are a variety of obvious differences between motorcycles and other typical passenger vehicles, mainly the lack of protection that motorcycles provide. Motorcyclists and their passengers are at a much greater risk for catastrophic injuries than people traveling using other forms of transportation. These severe injuries may include traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, paralysis, disfigurement, amputations or even death. The following are a few motorcycle accident statistics:
Motorcyclists are at greater risk of injury than others using the roadways because of the risk of injury from road debris, potholes, dangerous weather conditions, poor road design, construction areas or road work areas without properly displayed signs, dangerous intersections, and negligent drivers.
It is extremely important for motorcycle accident victims to secure quality legal representation immediately following a motorcycle accident to ensure that their rights are protected.
