Motorcycle AccidentMany people enjoy the thrill and freedom of riding a motorcycle on the open road. Unfortunately, because motorcycles offer passengers little protection, when accidents do occur, the driver is usually left with severe, debilitating, and life-threatening injuries. In fact, motorcyclists are 35 times more likely than passenger car occupants to die in a motor vehicle crash and 8 times more likely to be injured. Reports from the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration show that injuries and deaths from motorcycle accidents have been on the rise over the past decade.
If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident, you may be entitled to financial compensation for your pain, suffering, emotional distress, medical expenses, rehabilitation, and financial loss. At Pitman, Kyle, & Sicula, our experienced Wisconsin motorcycle accident attorneys can protect your rights, and make sure you receive the compensation you deserve.
Because motorcycle riders lack the weight, bulk, and protection of a car, truck, or SUV, they are more likely to sustain serious, life-altering injuries when accidents occur. Furthermore, unlike automobiles, motorcycles are not equipped with airbags, roofs, seat belts, and other safety features. At our law firm, we have successfully helped hundreds of clients obtain compensation for their injuries. We have experience helping clients with the following types of injuries:
- Brain injury or damage
- Head injury
- Neck injury
- Spinal cord injury
- Back injury
- Burn injury
- Internal bleeding
- Paralysis
- Fractured or broken bones
- Torn ligaments
- Whiplash
- Amputation
- Psychiatric distress
- Death
There are a number of reasons why motorcycle riders are more likely to sustain a serious or fatal injury, as opposed to those people who drive automobiles, SUVs, or trucks:
- Motorcycles are more light weight than cars and trucks
- Motorcycles provide less coverage and protection
- Motorcycles have limited visibility and are harder to be seen by drivers of cars, SUVs, and trucks
- Motorcycles can be easily side swept
- Motorcycles are more susceptible to road hazards and dangerous weather conditions
- Motorcycles are arguably harder to drive and require more skill
- Motorcycles are more likely to become unstable or “wobbly” at higher speeds
