How Bad Are Motorcycle Accidents?

Baltimore County motorcyclists are among the most vulnerable to serious injury when involved in accidents on our roadways. Regardless of the safety precautions in place, motorcycle accidents are frequently deadly in large part because motorcyclists lack the protections available to people inside vehicles which are, in part, designed to ensure the safety of their occupants. Collision, lane splitting, intoxication, high speed, and corner turning incidents are the primary reasons that account for motorcycle accidents and often result in catastrophic losses.

Although lacerations, broken bones, and abrasions are more frequent, some high-impact crashes are fatal, causing life-changing head or brain injuries, even amputation and death in complicated cases.

These are dangerous for many reasons, including little to no protection for the rider, brakes that easily spin out of control, poorly designed protective gear, and having less control over the vehicle. The likelihood of the risks is increased due to how a motorcycle is designed. Also, these are smaller than cars, tractors, or trucks and can therefore be more difficult to see on the road.

On average, motorcyclists are 20x more likely to die in a collision than the occupants in a passenger vehicle. They are also 5x as likely to be wounded due to the unpredictability of a situation. For those who have been injured, it may be a long road to recovery. Thus, it is always best to hire an accident lawyer to help get life on track and obtain the deserved compensation.
