Nearly one out of every five motorcycle crashes result in neck or head injuries. In just a few short seconds it is enough for a skilled motorcyclist to suffer a crash due to a negligent driver. Year after year, thousands of victims suffer the loss of a loved one due to the negligence of others.
Reasons
If you take a look at any newspapers that report motorcycle accidents or injuries, you are likely to see that following:
- Drunk or aggressive driving
- Speeding or risky turns
- Negligence of the other auto/vehicle driver
- Traffic jam or congestion
- Violation of traffic laws
- Motorcycle signaling error
- Driver error
What’s disturbing is to note that most motorcycle accidents occur on short trips, but bike riders who wear helmets are three times more likely to emerge as survivors despite head or neck injuries. Otherwise, the damage to the head and neck can be quite extensive.
Wearing a helmet has its advantages because helmets save lives. However, a study involving 900 motorcycle accidents revealed that 40 percent of the riders wore helmets but that didn’t safeguard them from neck or head injuries. So, it may happen that wearing a helmet is a recommended safety measure but definitely not a full- proof one.
Financial Compensation
