Overview
The National Highway Safety Administration reports that in 2006, over 4,800 motorcyclists were killed. This is an increase of 5 percent of motorcyclists killed in 2005. Over the past 10 years, the number of motorcyclists injured has risen by 37.5 percent, with 88,000 motorcyclists that were injured during 2006*. In Kansas , 69.4 percent of motorcycle deaths involved those without helmets, 19 percent of motorcycle deaths included alcohol.
Motorcyclists are in additional danger due to the lack of barriers between them and obstacles that could cause injuries or death in an accident, particularly if they do not wear a helmet. Often it is tempting to weave in and out of other vehicles and take other shortcuts not available to others, yet it is harder for other drivers to see motorcycles. Riding a motorcycle may be exciting, yet additional cautions must be taken to protect yourself and your rider.
Most states vary widely in the laws involving motorcycle accidents, particularly if the riders do not wear helmets and if alcohol is involved. If you or a loved one were injured in a motorcycle accident, it is important to contact a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible that is experienced in motorcycle accidents.
