Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
If you or a loved one have been involved in a motorcycle accident, please contact the motorcycle accident lawyers at Keith Barton & Associates to learn more about your legal rights.
In recent years motorcycle riding has become more popular than ever. Unfortunately, as the popularity of motorcycle riding has increased, so has the number of serious accidents. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), motorcycles were involved in more than 104,000 crashes in 2006, resulting in over 4,800 fatalities. In fact, motorcycle crash fatalities have increased every year for the past ten years.
The sad truth is that motorcyclists are far more likely to be injured or die in a crash than occupants of a motor vehicle. Motorcyclists are more vulnerable because they are far less protected than occupants of a motor vehicle. The fatality rate for motorcyclists is 35 times greater and the injury rate is eight times greater, per vehicle mile traveled, than for those travelling in a passenger car.
To combat this alarming trend, the federal government has implemented a new program designed to improve motorcycle safety. This program focuses on rider education and training, tougher standards for helmet labeling, law enforcement training, and road designs.
