People across the United States ride motorcycles on a daily basis for pure enjoyment and transportation. Many times when people are injured in motorcycle accidents it is due to the negligence of other drivers. It has been estimated that 80% of accidents involving multiple vehicles are not the fault of the motorcycle rider. People who operate motorcycles are aware of the risks they face while riding, so they are observant and obey traffic laws. Unfortunately, many other drivers are not as observant or safe and put motorcycle riders in danger for physical injury. If you are involved in a motorcycle accident you may suffer fractured bones, head injury, brain injury, bruising, and other serious injuries.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Association (NHTSA):
- Approximately 4,600 people died on their motorcycle in 2005
