Motorcycle Accident Attorneys in Conley

Motorcycles are the most accident-prone motor vehicles and also the most likely to cause catastrophic injuries or wrongful death in a vehicle crash. Motorcycles lack key safeguards like airbags, seatbelts, and frames with structural protection that are standard in other vehicles like cars, trucks, and SUVs. Motorcycles also are more dangerous because they offer limited handling when it comes to maneuvering in different scenarios to avoid a collision. These are only some of the risks that motorcycle enthusiasts face when rolling down the streets of Conley. Motorcycle accidents are much more likely to result in a serious injury or wrongful death when compared to collisions involving enclosed vehicles. Our dedicated Conley motorcycle accident attorneys recognize the unique dangers faced by motorcyclists who must contend with alcohol impaired, distracted, and otherwise unsafe drivers of passenger vehicles.

Based on the statistics released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), almost 5,000 people die per year in fatal motorcycle accidents throughout the United States. Although motorcycles only account for three percent of the total number of motor vehicles, they are involved in thirteen percent of motor vehicle-related fatalities. A motorcyclist is 35 times more likely to be involved in a fatal collision than a driver of an enclosed passenger vehicle.

Motorcycle-Related Injuries and Legal Help from Conley Motorcycle Accident Attorneys

Motorists may experience a multitude of types of injuries in motorcycle accidents, but the worst cases often involve impact to the head resulting in traumatic brain injury (TBI) or even death. This is the primary reason why those that ride motorcycles are required to wear helmets when riding in Georgia. Based on another statistical report by the NHTSA, helmets have proven 37 percent effective in preventing fatal head injuries. While many riders still object to government imposed requirements that motorcyclists use a helmet, there is little dispute that they do reduce the danger associated with a traumatic brain injury.

The most common injuries that motorcycle accident victims suffer, which have major life-changing impacts, are amputation of limbs, TBIs, spinal cord damage, potential fatal vital organ injury, and wrongful death. Those who survive these accidents may lose physical functioning of their extremities, may be paralyzed due to spinal cord damage, and may require a long recovery period even for less severe injuries like fractures and broken bones. Motorcycle crash accidents also inflict emotional distress on the family and the victim. The serious nature of motorcycle collision injuries may render the victim unable to work and care for himself and his family on a temporary or permanent basis. The stress associated with enduring pain, surgery, and rehabilitation is intensified by medical bills and income loss.
