Motorcycle Accidents

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2007 alone 375 motorcycle riders were killed in Texas. “Per vehicle mile traveled, motorcyclists are about 35 times more likely than passenger car occupants to die in a traffic crash.” (5,154 fatalities nationwide and 103,000 injuries)

To the driver of a motorcycle, the experience can be a very enjoyable and exciting way to travel. However, the truth about motorcycles is they offer very little protection to the driver. The operator of the motorcycle is very exposed to injury if he or she is hit or impacts an object on the road. This is why the odds of getting killed or sustaining a serious injury are so much higher than in an auto accident. But motorcyclists have just as much right to expect the same safety on our roads as a driver of an automobile, especially since the consequence of negligence by another driver or a missing street sign or even a pothole can be deadly.
