While head trauma, or traumatic brain injury, is the leading cause of death and serious injury in these accidents, many other injuries may result in severe or permanent damage.
These can include burns, disfigurement, loss of limbs, multiple fractures, paralysis, quadriplegia, etc. A Centreville motorcycle accident attorney knows a fair settlement value for such severe injuries, based on the victim’s prognosis, age, and other factors. Most motorcycle accident claims are settled, but if the insurance company does not agree to a reasonable amount, the case can go to trial.
Motorcycle Accident Statistics
In 2017, the DMV in Virginia reported that motorcycle fatalities were the highest in ten years, at 107. That was nearly 50 percent more than the previous year. According to a spokesperson from the DMV, some of the collisions are the fault of the motorcyclist. Others occur because the driver of the car is not paying attention when changing lanes or the cyclist is in their blind spot.
Those behind the wheel of other motor vehicles often cannot judge the speed of a bike, and accidents occur when they pull out in front of it or do not keep a safe distance. In the latter case, the cyclist is rear-ended.
On the national level, the number of motorcyclists dying in accidents went down 5 percent in 2018, but that still represents 4,985 lives lost, according to the National Highway Safety Traffic Administration. It notes that, per vehicle mile, motorcyclists are 28 percent more likely to die in an accident. The majority of motorcycle accident deaths involve head injuries.
In just seconds, riding a motorcycle can turn from an exhilarating experience into an emergency.
Many drivers simply do not notice them on the road or do not know how vulnerable they are– since they have no protection if a collision occurs. Such negligence on the part of drivers may have dire consequences.
