Motorcycle riders live in a world of risk that drivers of cars may not understand. Experienced riders are keenly aware of road conditions, weather, lighting, and the vehicles around them. Still, when a driver operates their car in an unsafe manner, the most careful rider can sustain serious injuries.
Motorcycle accidents are notorious causes of head trauma and internal injuries, and a motorcycle rider who collides with a car is much more likely to die than in a situation where two cars impact each other. The lack of protection, even with helmets, padding, and other safety precautions, can mean that your life changes forever.
When a careless, reckless, negligent, or drunk driver hits a motorcycle, the results can be catastrophic. You are entitled to compensation to recover damages for lost wages, medical bills, pain and suffering, and future medical costs and disability.
