Motorcyclists, in passionate pursuit of the open road, are at increased risk of being involved in a traffic accident. In the most recent data provided by the Virginia Highway Safety Office, over 1,700 motorcycle riders and their passengers were injured in Virginia alone and there were 107 fatalities.
Due to their relative size on the road, automobile drivers often overlook or ignore motorcyclists. By their very design, motorcycles are one of the least crashworthy vehicles on the road – motorcyclists and their passengers are left virtually unprotected in the event of a collision.
You should know that motorcyclists are afforded equal protection under the law if they are injured by a negligent driver.
