Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accidents are similar to car accidents but have a far higher rate of serious and fatal injuries. In 2015, 4,976 people died in motorcycle crashes, up 8.3 percent from 4,594 in 2014, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) report. Injuries resulting from motorcycle accidents typically result in long periods of recovery time and extensive medical bills.
Although Motorcycle accidents often arise from the negligence of the drivers involved, tire and other defects have also caused motorcyclists to lose control and crash. Additionally, defective helmets have been linked to the cause of serious injuries and death.
Since insurance coverage for a car differs from coverage for a motorcycle, you should consult an attorney before making a claim to your insurance carrier.
