Motorcycles and scooters offer an exciting and thrilling ride, in part because of the inherent risk of danger they carry. Any traffic accident has the potential to cause serious or fatal injury, but motorcyclists and scooter riders are at an even higher risk.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, motorcyclists are 22 times more likely than other motorists to lose their lives in an accident. Motorcyclists and scooter riders don’t have the protection drivers of closed vehicles do. They are also less visible to other drivers and are less stable than vehicles with four wheels. As a result, motorcyclists and scooter riders are at a higher risk of sustaining serious injuries, which may lead to a motorcycle or scooter claim.
Motorcycle and scooter accidents often lead to catastrophic injuries, including:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Nerve and spinal cord injuries
- Neck and back injuries
- Broken bones
- Lacerations
