Motorcycle Accident
If you, or someone you know, has been killed or injured in a motorcycle crash because of the negligence of another party, you may be entitled to compensation.
People who ride motorcycles as a primary means of transportation has significantly increased over the past couple of years both in Washington and across the United States. In 2015, statistics show that motorcyclists accounted for 14 percent of all traffic fatalities, 4 percent of all people injured, 17 percent of all occupants (driver and passenger) fatalities, and 4 percent of all occupants injured.
Let’s put these statistics into perspective. Based on 2015 information, an estimated 88,000 motorcyclists were injured. There were 4,976 motorcyclists killed in motor vehicle traffic crashes. And, of the 4,976 motorcyclists killed in traffic crashes, 94 percent (4,684) were riders and 6 percent (292) were passengers.
Motorcycle accidents often end in catastrophic injuries or death. Other injuries injuries suffered include broken bones and burns, limb amputations, road rash, facial fractures and disfigurement, spinal cord injuries, paralysis and Traumatic Brian Injuries (TBI) and death. A motorcycle crash can have both short-term and long-term consequences for victims. These range from health problems to financial issues, or even the death of a loved one.
