The Statistics About Motorcycle Accidents
While automobile accidents have steadily declined in the last decade, motorcycle accidents have soared. In 2009, more than 2,000 motorcycle drivers and passengers were injured in accidents in Missouri, according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol. Eighty-four motorcyclists died in fatal motorcycle crashes. In Kansas, motorcycle accidents caused more than 1,000 injuries and 45 deaths.
Many accidents involving motorcycles occur because other motorists fail to see a motorcycle until it’s too late to avoid a collision. Motorcycles are smaller and have a narrower wheel base than other vehicles, so some drivers simply overlook them as they check for oncoming traffic. Motorcyclists have little protection when a crash occurs, other than a helmet and goggles, when a careless driver causes a collision. Motorcyclists are vulnerable to head injuries, brain injuries and spinal injuries. Of the people who died in motorcycle accidents in Kansas, only 25 percent were using helmets.
If you have been seriously injured or lost a loved one in a motorcycle accident, you will need time to recover. You may require physical therapy or be unable to return to work for an extended period. You may have a stack of hospital bills totaling tens of thousands of dollars. The at-fault driver who caused your motorcycle accident and their insurance company should pay your medical bills and lost wages. You need an experienced Kansas City motorcycle accident attorney to advocate aggressively for your rights.
At the Potts Law Firm, our commitment and years of experience as aggressive advocates for personal injury victims give us an advantage. Don’t settle for less than full compensation for the harm you’ve suffered in a motorcycle collision caused by a careless driver.
