Motorcycle Accident Investigation is Underway

Although a variety of laws protects motorcycle riders, motorcycle accidents are still an inevitable occurrence. Some of the common causes of motorcycle accidents are distracted driving, speeding, drunk driving, reckless driving, bad weather, wrong-way driving, and failure to observe traffic laws. Motorcycle riders are more vulnerable to the dangers on the road in comparison to passengers of private cars. According to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) statistics, motorcycle riders have 16 times the risk of injury and 35 times the risk of a fatal crash in comparison to car passengers.

The legs and the feet are the most common body parts injured during motorcycle crashes. Sustaining fractures and broken bones are common, followed by contusions, lacerations, and sprains. Of course, catastrophic injuries also occur, with the possibility of paralysis and death. Motorcycle riders are encouraged to dress appropriately and wear a helmet every time they ride their motorcycle to avoid fatal injuries. Wearing helmets were estimated to be 37% effective in preventing motorcycle deaths.
