Motorcycle Accident Lawsuits
Although motorcycles make up only 3% of all vehicles on the road, they account for 14% of all traffic fatalities in the United States.
Around 5,000 people die each year from a motorcycle accident. Victims of these accidents are 28 times more likely to die than those in passenger cars. And, 80% of motorcycle accidents result in serious injury.
Multiple Vehicles
While some motorcycle accidents are self-inflicted, almost two-thirds involve multiple vehicles that cause more severe injury or death to riders than vehicle occupants.
In accidents caused by the actions or negligence of other drivers, motorcyclists and their families are entitled to seek damages for the immense medical costs, pain or death that may result. Case Justice works with lawyers that specialize in serious motorcycle accident lawsuits.
Motorcycle Accident Causes
The most common causes of motorcycle accidents or injury are:
- Driver intoxication
- Distracted drivers
- Speeding
- Lane splitting
- Sudden moves by other vehicles
- Not wearing a helmet.
Due to the fact they are so much lighter than passenger vehicles with little protection, motorcycle accidents result in an unproportionate amount of injury or death. The most common injuries from motorcycle accidents are:
- Lower extremities injuries
- Head or neck injuries
- Brain injury
- Spinal injuries
- Broken or amputated limbs
- Organ damage.
