Interesting statistics about motorcycle accidents

• Motorcycles make up nearly 3% of all registered vehicles in the United States
• Motorcycles account for .4% of all vehicle miles travelled
• 10.5% of all traffic fatalities are from either drivers or riders of motorcycles
• Motorcyclists are about 37 times more likely than passenger car occupants to die in a traffic crash. The lack of protection and separation of the rider from the motorcycle can lead to severe, if not fatal, injuries.

Most common cause of motorcycle accidents

So often, whenever a motorcycle is involved in an accident the perception is that the motorcyclist was travelling too fast, and driving in a dangerous manner. Although each case is different, that perception is not correct and is, in fact, wrong.

• In 2008, there were 2,387 two-vehicle fatal crashes involving a motorcycle and another vehicle.
• In 41% of these crashes, the other vehicle was turning left when the motorcycle was travelling straight.

This is your typical motorcycle accident; the driver of a car does not see or perceive the motorcycle, and turns left in front of, or into, the motorcycle. If you would like to consult with a Faraci Lange attorney about your recent motorcycle accident, fill out the contact us form and our intake coordinator will get in touch with you to get more information.

Motorcyclists are NOT covered under the New York State No-Fault Law

Unfortunately New York State no-fault benefits do not apply to motorcyclists. Therefore, medical benefits and lost wage benefits will not be paid by no-fault. The medical bills must be paid by your HMO or the victim personally. If you have questions about this, contact Faraci Lange through our website or by calling (585) 325-5150.

How do you win a motorcycle case?

In order to prevail in a motorcycle case, we must prove that the other vehicle was negligent and that the negligence of the other vehicle caused the motorcycle accident and the injuries. We must then go on to prove the practical significance of the injuries to our client. Our emphasis on trial preparation helps us to develop the case so that we can overcome juror bias against motorcyclists. With the help of our nurses and our past experience with representing persons who have been severely injured, we are able to effectively communicate the injuries and their practical significance to the insurance carrier and to the jury. This helps us in achieving our goal of obtaining the best potential outcome for our motorcycle accident victims.
