RISKS OF THE ROAD
3 Things Motorcyclists Need to be Aware Of
The wind in your face, the freedom of the open road, the thrill of the pavement rushing beneath your feet — these are just a few reasons why people become motorcyclists, but this liberty isn’t risk-free. Motorcyclists are far more likely to be seriously injured under circumstances that would be minor fender benders for drivers in cars. That’s why it’s important for riders to be aware of the options available to them following a crash. The Danger of Drivers One of the most dangerous elements motorcyclists face are the people they share the road with. Sadly, many catastrophic motorcycle accidents are caused by drivers making left turns or lane changes. Motorcycles are harder to spot than other vehicles, meaning an inattentive driver can do serious harm. While you cannot correct the negligence of such individuals, you can hold them and their insurance companies accountable for any harm they may have caused by filing a personal injury claim. The Severity of Injuries Motorcyclists don’t have the luxury of seat belts or airbags. In a crash, nothing stands between them and the road or the other vehicle. Thus, riders often face far more severe consequences from crashes, including permanent disabilities and chronic ailments. These are the kinds of injuries that can impact you
personally and financially for the rest of your life. Who should bear the cost for this pain: you or the driver that failed to watch for motorcyclists?
