BMW Develops Self-Driving Motorcycle to Study Advanced Safety Systems

Even with Safety Systems, Motorcycle Accident Can Still Cause Serious Injuries

Riding a motorcycle is an inherently dangerous activity, and motorcyclists expose themselves to a risk of serious injury every time they take to the road. Because they lack the protections of a vehicle body, accidents can throw them from their bikes and slam them into the ground or another vehicle, often resulting in severe bodily injuries, including:

• Traumatic brain injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Serious fractures
• Concussions
• Crush injuries
• Serious soft tissue injuries
• Traumatic amputations

In most cases, these kinds of injuries leave victims with significant economic and non-economic losses, including medical expenses, lost income, lost quality of life, and physical and emotional pain and suffering. If you have found yourself in this position, there is some good news; if the accident in which you sustained your injuries was the result of the negligence of another person, you’re likely entitled to compensation for all of your accident-related losses.

So how do you know if your accident was the result of negligence? The best way to find out is to talk to an attorney as soon as possible. At Alpert Schreyer Injury Accident Lawyers, we will evaluate your case at no cost to you and let you know whether we think you have a claim. Some examples of driver negligence that can lead to a serious, injury-causing motorcycle accident include:

• Speeding
• Distracted driving
• Following too closely
• Failing to yield the right of way
• Driving while impaired by drugs or alcohol
