Delaware Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
Motorcyclists face unique dangers on the road that put them at greater risk of being involved in a serious accident. Unlike automobile drivers who are protected by seat belts, air bags, and a metal car frame, bikers are exposed to the elements and are more likely to be seriously injured in even a minor crash. In fact, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), motorcyclists are more than 30 times as likely as automobile drivers or passengers to be severely injured or killed in an accident.

Accident Risks
Motorcycles are inherently less safe than cars because of their design. They lack the safety features that have become standard in automobiles, leaving riders vulnerable to serious injuries in a collision. Bikers must rely on a helmet and other protective clothing to minimize the impact of an accident on the body.
In addition, the two-wheeled design of a motorcycle makes it less stable and harder to handle in dangerous conditions. A bike is susceptible to inclement weather and can easily lose traction on a wet road and crash. Potholes, uneven roads, road debris, and reckless drivers also increase the risk of an accident. Even the slightest change in road conditions could cause a rider to lose control.

If you have been hurt in a motorcycle accident, someone may be responsible for the dangerous conditions that led to your crash and you may be entitled to financial compensation for your accident-related costs. Our Delaware motorcycle accident attorneys are committed to fighting on your behalf to recover payment for your injuries and damages, including compensation for your medical bills, lost wages from time off of work, recovery costs, repair expenses, and pain and suffering.
