Many people enjoy riding motorcycles for fun and convenience, but the risks of this mode of transportation are well documented. A motorcyclist is 26 times more likely than other drivers to be killed in a car crash and five times as likely to be injured, according to the Insurance Information Institute. Bikers have little protection from injury in a crash, and car and truck drivers often fail to notice motorcycles on the road. When negligent inattention or willful disregard for safety is found, victims are entitled to full compensation for injury or wrongful death.
