Riding on two wheels as opposed to four makes a motorcycle less stable, meaning the motorcyclist’s skill level is critically important. Further, in the event of an accident, the motorcyclist has virtually no protection, other than a helmet, if worn, and possibly “leathers” to protect from road rash.
When involved in a collision with another motor vehicle, there is very little protection between the rider and the ground. As a result, motorcycle riders are often more likely to suffer serious, even catastrophic injuries when compared to the driver or passengers of an enclosed pass than the driver or passenger of an enclosed vehicle. If you have been involved in a motorcycle accident, it is crucial that you reach out to motorcycle accident attorney for help.
