MOTORCYCLE COLLISION
Protect your legal claim by consulting our attorneys early

Motorcycle collision injuries are eligible for financial compensation.

November 24, 2008 -- One of the greatest safety precautions a motorcyclist can take is to wear a helmet. The government estimates that helmets saved the lives of 1,784 motorcyclists in 2007. Another smart precaution is to consult a motorcycle collision lawyer soon after an accident.

Injured motorcyclists can recover financial compensation to pay for medical bills and suffering if the accident was the fault of another party. Consult a Weitz & Luxenberg attorney for free through the form on this page. Learn your rights!

Motorcycle collision statistics

The number of people killed in a motorcycle collision rose for the ninth straight year in 2007, and statistics show that fatalities have more than doubled since 1998.

According to the latest figures issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), out of a total of 41,059 U.S. traffic fatalities in 2007, 13 percent, or 5,154, were motorcyclists.

More disturbing news is that in 2007, motorcycle deaths rose 6.6 percent and injuries from motorcycle accidents rose 17 percent.

In New York (NY) alone, 158 motorcyclists died last year, said the NHTSA.
