Motorcycle Accidents

If you ride a motorcycle, you’re much more likely to be injured in a motor vehicle accident than drivers of automobiles. Because of this, it’s important that you know your rights and how to proceed if you’re involved in an accident.

Some important statistics about motorcycle accidents include:

  • About 70 percent of motorcycle accidents occur at intersections, where motorcycles are particularly difficult to see
  • About two-thirds of accidents involving a motorcycle and another vehicle occur because the other vehicle did not yield right-of-way to the motorcycle
  • Motorcyclists are 25 to 35 percent more likely to be killed in an accident than those driving cars
  • The number of motorcycle accidents has increased greatly over the last few years, as has the number of motorcycles on the road

In cases of negligence on the part of the other driver, you might be able to receive a settlement in court to help pay for medical bills or the cost of repairing or replacing your vehicle. Craig Goldenfarb, PA handles personal injury cases in the West Palm Beach, Florida area, and can help you prepare your case. Please contact Craig Goldenfarb, PA for an initial consultation.
