Motorcycle crashes are very serious matters

On behalf of Nield Law Group, APC | Sep 18, 2018 | Motorcycle Accidents

One of the most important things motorcyclists can do before they get out on the bike is to make sure they have a helmet on and their identification and medical insurance card on them. Taking these steps can help ensure that if you are in an accident on your motorcycle that you might fare as well as possible.

You just never know what is going to happen when you get out on the road. There are times when motorcyclists are driving as safely as they can but other drivers aren’t doing the same. Some drivers believe that they should always have the right of way because they have the larger vehicle. This isn’t how right-of-way laws work.

State laws establish who has the right of way in every situation. The size of the vehicle or their need to get somewhere doesn’t have a part to play in who gets to drive when. In two-thirds of vehicle versus motorcycle crashes, the vehicle driver didn’t give the motorcyclist the right of way that was due to them.

Motorcycle awareness plays a big role in trying to keep bikers safe. Some individuals might not realize how dangerous these accidents are. Motorcyclists are five times more likely to suffer an injury and 26 times more likely to die than occupants of other vehicles.

If you are injured in a motorcycle accident involving another vehicle, be sure that you get medical care. Not only does this help you establish a diagnosis and start treatment, it also helps you to tie the injuries to the crash. This might be beneficial if you are going to seek compensation for the crash.
