Motorcycles are less stable and less visible than cars and often have high performance capabilities. When motorcycles crash, their riders lack the protection of an enclosed vehicle, so they’re more likely to be injured or killed. The federal government estimates that per mile traveled in 2005, the number of deaths on motorcycles was about 37 times the number in cars.
Research published in 1995 shows that five crash types account for 86 percent of fatal motorcycle crashes: motorcycle runs off road (41 percent), motorcycle or other vehicle runs traffic control (18 percent), head on (11 percent), car turns in front of motorcycle (8 percent), and motorcycle goes down in roadway (7 percent).
If you or a loved one has been injured in a motorcycle accident, contact me today for a free consultation. There is no charge to talk to me and you will be under no obligation to hire me. When I represent a person who has been injured in a motorcycle accident, my work is done on a contingency fee basis. That means that I don’t get paid unless and until my client gets money either through settlement or jury trial.
