About Motorcycle Accident Injuries
Motorcycle Injury Lawyer in Oklahoma
The person who will be most at risk in any motorcycle accident will be the rider or passenger of the motorcycle, as opposed to the occupant of a passenger car, light truck, SUV, van or large truck. According to National Highway Safety Traffic Administration (NHTSA) statistics from 2007, motorcyclists were 37 times more likely than passenger car occupants to lose their lives in motorcycle accidents and 8 times more likely to be injured, per vehicle mile traveled.
One way to avoid fatal injury in a motorcycle accident is to wear a helmet. Law does not require drivers aged 18 or older to wear safety helmets, but NHTSA statistics indicate that a helmet is 37% effective in preventing fatal injuries to motorcyclists in the event of a collision. For every 100 motorcyclists that were not wearing helmets and lost their lives in traffic accidents, 37 would have been saved if all 100 had been helmeted.
