Motorcycle Accidents
According to the United States Department of Transportation, the number and rate of motorcyclist deaths on United States roads are rising at an alarming rate. Between 1997 and 2005, motorcycle rider fatalities rose 115 percent. A person involved in a motorcycle accident is 34 times more likely to die and 8 times more likely to be injured than someone in a car. In Minnesota alone, 4,810 motorcyclists were killed in 2006 and there were 88,000 injuries.
When You've Been Injured In A Motorcycle Accident
Motorcyclists face higher risks of death and injury because they have almost no protection on their bikes. Because motorcycles are smaller, motorists often do not see them, and that can have deadly consequences. There is also the chance that a defective helmet or product defect caused death or injury. Causes of an accident can be numerous, and an experienced attorney will be able to help you sort out the facts of your case. We have worked with people who have suffered paralysis, traumatic brain injury, catastrophic spinal cord injuries, facial fractures and other issues as the result of a motorcycle crash.
