Riding a motorcycle can be a thrilling experience, but it also comes with increased risks. Over the last 15 years, the number of motorcycle injuries being treated in emergency rooms has risen by over 40%. Additionally, the US Department of Transportation has reported a 100% increase in motorcycle fatalities during this time period. Motorcyclists are 35 times more likely to be in a fatal crash than those in cars. Despite the rising number of motorcycles on the road, safety practices are not always being followed, putting riders at risk. The actions of negligent drivers can lead to devastating motorcycle accidents for riders and their loved ones.
