Do You Need a Virginia Motorcycle Accident Law Firm?

Although there are many laws to protect motorcycle riders in Virginia, you may be in need of a good motorcycle accident law firm Virginia motorcycle riders and their families can rely on.

Motorcycle Accident Information

The U.S. Department of Transportation’s, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) published the following information and statistics that indicate a nationwide need for law firms that know how to defend motorcycle accident victims and their families. In 2015:

4,976 motorcyclists were killed
There was an 8% increase in the number of motorcyclists killed from the year 2014 to
the year 2015
88,000 motorcyclists were injured
Per vehicle mile travelled, motorcycle fatalities occurred nearly 29 times more
frequently than passenger car occupant fatalities in traffic crashes
In States without universal helmet laws, 58% of motorcyclists killed were not wearing
helmets, as compared to 8% in States with universal helmet laws

Virginia requires all motorcycle operators and their passengers to wear helmets at all times. Even with this important protective gear, motorcycle riders are often injured. These injuries can be anywhere from minor to catastrophic, to even deadly. If you or someone you love has been injured in an accident involving a motorcycle, even if you were not riding the motorcycle involved, it may be in your best interest to get a motorcycle accident law firm in Virginia, or in the jurisdiction where your accident occured, on your side.

Virginia Motorcycle Safety Laws

Like all U.S. States, Virginia has laws to regulate motorcycles and their riders, to help to try to make Virginia roads safer for all vehicles and their travelers. Some of the laws that pertain to motorcycles include:

All motorcycle operators and riders must wear helmets
It is recommended but not required that a headlight be on during the day
Motorcycle riders can use a microphone with one ear piece to communicate with
passengers and other cyclists. It is illegal for a motorcycle operator to have both ears covered.
All riders must wear goggles, safety glasses, or a helmet shield. If the motorcycle has a
windshield, the aforementioned are not required.
Passengers must have a passenger seat and footrest
Motorcycle operators must hold a motorcycle operator’s license

The information in this article is a general overview on motorcycles in Virginia and is not intended to be legal advice in any way. If you have questions about a motorcycle accident in Virginia that you or someone you love was involved in, some motorcycle accident law firms give free case evaluations.

  This was an awesome experience with Brittney Cassiere, Miriam Calisher, and my attorney Jill. What made me select Cohen & Cohen for my case, was my experience many years ago with Kim Brooks-Rodney. I definitely recommend anyone to use them. They have your best interest at hand.

  I am very satisfied with the services provided by Cohen and Cohen. They were able to settle my case within less than a year and settled a fair amount in which I was expecting. They communicated very well throughout the process as well as made sure all boxes were checked off to ensure i received the best care and communication. I will recommend the services to anyone in these situations. Riley and Brittney were certainly very helpful during the process.

  Lucas Baudry was my rep for this accident claim, and even though I had LOADS of questions and was a bit impatient, he was always responsive and quick to reply. We’re wrapping up now, and I really feel like he tried to have the best results in the end, and didn’t drag it out more than need be.

  I had a great experience with this company.  Mr. Baudry worked diligently with my case, he was very professional and straight to the point. He gathered all the information that he needed to get the job done. I recommend this company to all the people that I come across that need help. Thanks a lot.
