The injury suffered in a motorcycle crash does not compare with that of auto accidents. A person riding a motorcycle does not benefit from the steel and aluminum body protection that a car provides. The only thing shielding a motorcyclist from the damage that a car crash or auto accident may cause is a thin layer of clothing. Often times motorcyclists fail to wear the proper safety equipment in order to protect themselves from severe injury. Unfortunately, countless tragic motorcycle crashes occur because of a motorcycle rider’s failure to wear a protective helmet. The use of a helmet may be able to prevent motorists from suffering Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Spinal Cord Injury and many other types of severe injury. Consulting a motorcycle accident lawyer at O’Keeffe O’Brien Lyson Attorneys can be a very wise decision if you or someone you know is involved in this type of accident.
Motorcycle Injury and Negligence
Auto motorists and motorcyclists must adhere to the same rules of the road. They must respect the driving regulations that have been set into place in order to ensure the protection of all motorists who share the road. However, congested streets and traffic all contribute to a number of distractions that may often lead to driver negligence. This negligence often leads to a motorist failing to see a motorcyclist and intercept with their right of way.
Due to the smaller size of the vehicle and a lack of protection, the types of crashes motorcyclists face are typically very severe. The personal injury lawyer team of O’Keeffe O’Brien Lyson Attorneys specialize in representing motorcycle injuries that include:
• Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
