Motorcycle Accidents


A motorcycle accident injury is extremely dangerous because of the lack of protection the motorcycle drivers have. A large number of motorcycle accidents will result in death or serious injury.



In fact, 2006 figures from the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration detail 4,810 motorcyclists died from accident traumas and over 88,000 more suffered injury from motorcycle accidents in the year as well.

Did you know that one out of every five motorcycle crashes are shown to result in head or neck injuries? Negligent drivers cause skilled motorcyclist to crash causing head trauma to the biker.

Some riders do not wear helmets because they think helmets will limit their view to the sides. Others wear helmets only on long trips or when riding at high speeds. An approved helmet lets you see as far to the sides as necessary. A study of more than 900 motorcycle crashes, where 40% of the riders wore helmets, did not find even one case in which a helmet kept a rider from spotting danger.

Most crashes happen on short trips (less than five miles long), just a few minutes after starting out. Most riders are riding slower than 30 mph when a crash occurs. At these speeds, helmets can cut both the number and the severity of head injuries by half. No matter what the speed, helmeted riders are three times more likely to survive head injuries than those not wearing helmets at the time of the crash. Almost every single motorcycle injury accident ends up in injury so the damages experienced can be extensive.
