In today's uncertain economy, more and more Americans are turning to motorcycles for their primary means of transportation as they search for ways to save money on rising fuel costs.   Millions of our citizens safely enjoy riding these 2 wheeled machines every day.  In addition to providing a tremendous sense of freedom to their drivers, motorcycles have garnered a tremendous cult-like following because of their inherent danger and coolness.  Of course, these perceptions are no doubt based largely on an almost universal comprehension that motorcycle accidents are extremely dangerous, quite common, and often fatal.

A sound appreciation of the dangers which should automatically come along with driving and riding these vehicles, is largely considered to be the basis of a good overall strategy for avoiding potentially disastrous scenarios on the road.  If you have ever traveled on a motorcycle, you no doubt realize just how vulnerable people truly are on these things, especially with all of the larger vehicles out there on the roads.  Thus, when an accident between a motorcycle and a car, SUV or an 18 wheeler semi truck happens – it is no surprise then that the injuries are usually serious and often times deadly.  In times like these, you will need a savvy motorcycle lawyer with knowledge of both the motorcycle riding experience and also how the insurance industry handles claims against them .

Most often though, when it comes to motorcycle accidents, it doesn't even matter how experienced the motorcycle driver is.  This is because drivers of other vehicles on the road do not have the same appreciation of the danger and caution required in order to successfully share the roads with motorcyclists.  Hence, there will always be an increased probability for collisions between them.  Motorcycle riders often go unnoticed because of their size, causing these other drivers to make careless mistakes.  These mistakes can come at an extremely high price, which usually leads to a significant number of wrongful death and personal injury lawsuits .
