Riding a motorcycle through Blue Springs, MO is a thrilling experience. While your loved one enjoys their time on the road, they are incredibly vulnerable to serious injuries and even death. Motorcyclists are more likely to suffer catastrophic injuries on the road than those in a car, truck, or semi-truck. If your loved one was injured in a motorcycle accident in Blue Springs, MO, contact Harper, Evans, Hilbrenner & Netemeyer.
When motorcycle riders utilize safe riding practices like wearing the appropriate helmet, jacket, pants, and shoes, they are still at risk of suffering serious injuries or being killed. In 2020 82,528 motorcyclists were injured while 5,579 motorcyclists were killed in traffic accidents in the United States, an 11% increase from 2019. Motorcycle fatalities account for 14% of all traffic fatalities in 2020 even though motorcycles accounted for only 8% of vehicles on the road.
Wearing the appropriate protective gear while riding a motorcycle can help protect you, but when a negligent driver meets a motorcyclist on the road, a helmet or jacket can mean very little. Most motorcycle accidents are caused by drivers who do not see a motorcycle or fail to yield, believing they have the right of way as the larger vehicle. When a car or truck strikes a motorcycle, the cyclist may be thrown over or under the vehicle, or thrown forward into oncoming traffic. Serious roadway accidents like these can result in a number of catastrophic injuries requiring expensive medical bills and long-term ongoing care.
