The Motorcycle Legal Foundation reports that crashes are 30 times more deadly for motorcyclists than for other drivers. This is because motorcycles offer no safety restraints or airbags to protect riders when an accident occurs. Motorcyclists are encouraged to wear helmets and protective clothing to provide a layer of protection. Alcohol and motorcycles are an especially deadly combination, with nearly 30% of motorcyclists involved in fatal crashes in 2019 having a BAC over the legal limit. Motorcyclists and all drivers are strongly encouraged to NOT drink and ride or drive. If you or someone close to you has been injured or died from injuries suffered in a motorcycle accident, discussing your situation with an experienced personal injury lawyer is the best way to determine how much compensation you may be entitled to receive.
