MOTORCYCLE
ACCIDENTS
To many individuals, riding a motorcycle is extremely enjoyable.
However, motorcycles are also the most hazardous of all vehicles
on the roadways today and account for many fatalities. According
to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), a
motorcyclist is 15 times more likely to die in a crash than a passenger
or driver who is involved in an automobile accident. It is obvious
from the lack of physical protection offered by a car that in comparison
to car drivers, motorcycle operators are more susceptible to serious
injuries. These injuries are generally caused by other drivers,
defective roadway design, product defects, debris left behind from
roadway construction and potholes.
Unfortunately, the injuries sustained by motorcyclist are oftentimes
catastrophic and life altering. To add insult to injury, insurance
companies argue that motorcyclists are generally more careless than
other vehicle operators. Based on this misconceived view, insurance
companies refuse to offer just compensation for the injuries sustained
by the motorcyclist.
