Motorcycle riding is fun and the popularity of motorcycles has skyrocketed over the years. More and more people are
enjoying their motorcycles all across Chicago and the suburbs. Unfortunately, the number of serious injuries and fatalities
attributed to motorcycle accidents has increased dramatically since 1998. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
reports that since 1997, motorcycle rider fatalities have increased by approximately 89 percent. According to the NHTSA, in
2004, over 4000 motorcyclists died and over 75,000 were injured.
The problem is many times a person driving a car, SUV,
or truck simply doesn’t see the motorcyclist behind or alongside of them. As a result, a crash ensues. Due to the
lack of protection afforded by a motorcycle, many motorcycle accidents result in serious and permanent injuries, including
traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, paralysis, amputation, and death. The inability of a motor vehicle driver
to see a motorcyclist is not an excuse for failing to keep a proper lookout and abiding by the rules of the road.
