It’s not by chance the motorcycle awareness month falls in May. May in the Midwest is prime motorcycle season and we see a major increase in motorcyclists during May and continued through the summer months. Also, spring and summer months see a surge in motorcycle crashes.
When a motorcycle collides with a passenger vehicle or any other object, the injuries can be severe if not fatal. During the spring, public safety announcements serve to remind drivers to look closely for motorcycles as many of us have not been on the lookout in the winter months.
Owners of motorcycles know this and are also keenly aware that motorcycles can be more dangerous than passenger vehicles.
In reality, motorcyclists can be 30 times more likely to die in a crash than people in a car. Consumer Reports offer 10 motorcycle safety tips for riders:
In the last few weeks, fatal motorcycle crashes have occurred in all parts of Missouri. In 2014, 68 percent of motorcycles involved in fatal traffic crashes in Missouri collided with another vehicle during the accident. Safety for riders involves riders and other drivers as well.
We all must “share” the road responsibly and safely. If you have been involved in a motorcycle crash and have been injured, you will need an experienced motorcycle crash attorney.
At The Cagle Law Firm, our attorneys have represented many victims of motorcycle crashes in serious injury cases and wrongful deaths, thus we very much like to take the opportunity to remind all drivers of motorcycle season and the importance of keeping a look out and driving and riding responsibly.
