Accidents
A North Carolina motorcycle accident is often more
treacherous than an auto accident. A North Carolina motorcycle accident
can involve serious injuries and have devastating results. Although
motorcyclists are often stereotyped as reckless and fast drivers,
it is negligent automobile drivers who cause most motorcycle accidents.
With little regard or respect for motorcycles, automobile
drivers place motorcyclists at greater risk for serious injuries
in a motorcycle accident.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
reported that in 2007 there were 3,661 motorcyclists killed and
an additional 67,000 were injured in traffic crashes in the United
States—12% more than the 3,270 motorcyclist fatalities and
4% more than the 65,000 motorcyclist injuries reported in 2002.
Additionally, more than 100,000 motorcyclists have died in traffic
crashes since the enactment of the Highway Safety and National Traffic
and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966.
However, because of the perceived increased dangers
associated with motorcycles, the victim’s rights in a motorcycle
accident may be tough to defend, even if the cause is the other
party’s negligence. A North Carolina motorcycle accident lawyer
is the best solution to guide you through this difficult legal process.
North Carolina motorcycle accident injuries can
have a devastating impact on the life of the motorcyclist and his
or her family. If you or someone you love has been in a motorcycle
accident, the same laws apply as if you were in a North Carolina
car accident or truck accident. These laws provide that the person
or company responsible pay for your motorcycle accident repairs
and injuries. It is important you understand the dangers associated
with motorcycles and the rights you have if you’re ever in
a motorcycle accident. Call Daggett Shuler, a North Carolina motorcycle
accident lawyer can help you today.
