MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS

Motorcycle riding has greatly increased in the last several years due to their relatively low price tag, small size, and the fuel-efficiency of many models. As such, the number of motorcycle accidents has sharply risen. Last year motorcycle fatalities were among their highest levels ever. Our Seattle personal injury lawyers have seen an increase in motorcycle insurance claims and ensuing lawsuits. We have also seen a rise in the dollar amount for settlements that our Seattle personal injury lawyers have been able to secure for our clients.

When you are in a motorcycle accident chances are that you are facing a devastating injury. In approximately 80% of all reported motorcycle accidents the outcome is injury or death, usually due to a head injury; comparatively the figure for automobiles is 20%. This stark contrast is strong proof of not only the higher risk that goes along with riding a motorcycle, but that if you are involved in a motorcycle accident you must seek the help of a trained Seattle injury attorney as soon as possible.

Motorcycles offer virtually no protection to the rider, meaning a rider can incur numerous physical injuries to all parts of the body in the event of a collision. Broken bones, amputations, brain and spinal injuries, and death are common. Even with the numbers as they are and the dangers evident, the number of motorcycle accidents is rising world-wide. Statistics currently show that a driver on a motorcycle is 83% more likely to be injured than drivers riding in other types of vehicles.
