Fatal Motorcycle Accidents

If you are grieving over the loss of a much-loved motorcyclist, you and other surviving family members may be entitled to compensation for expenses that are the result of your loved one’s accident, as well as for things such as grief and loss. Motorcyclists have very little protection from harm in an accident compared to passengers in an enclosed vehicle such as an automobile, truck, van or bus, etc. It is an unfortunate reality that a motorcyclist is approximately 26 times more likely to be killed in an accident than a driver or passenger in an automobile.

Dangers for Rockville, MD Motorcycle Riders

Helmets are required by law in Maryland, but aside from these and gear to protect your skin, riders are left with little else in the way of protection should they be struck by a car or lose control of their motorcycle. Even collisions at low speeds can cause a motorcyclist significant injuries or even death.

Maryland’s weather and roads’ do not have as much effect on car safety as they do for motorcycle safety. Examples of factors that affect motorcycles more than cars include but are not limited to:

  • Rain, ice-rain, mild flooding, mud and debris from storms
  • Oily road surfaces
  • Loose pavement or excess gravel
  • Ruts, potholes, and possibly even railroad crossings
  • Inadequate construction zone signage

MD Motorcycle Riders and Accidents

As most Maryland motorcycle riders can tell you, the invigoration of riding a motorcycle efficiently through MD’s busy city and suburb streets, on its highways, and the exhilaration of riding on it’s open, backcountry roads, come with risks.

Even a motorcyclist who is fashioned with all of the recommended safety gear and one who also operates their motorcycle with the utmost care and caution, is subject to much higher risks for injuries compared to automobiles such as cars, trucks, vans, and SUVs. The aforementioned automobiles have sturdy, protective cages surrounding their drivers and passengers whereas motorcyclists have little to protect them from injury except for the protective gear they wear on their bodies. A real and very scary statistic is that motorcyclists are approximately 26 times more likely to be killed in an accident than a driver or passenger in a car.
