Motorcycle Riders Accept a Certain Level of Risk on the Open Road

If you ride a motorcycle in Orangeburg, then you know the joys that come from hitting the open road.  You also are aware of how little protection you have and that if you’re in a motorcycle accident. You could be facing serious injuries ranging from road rash and broken bones, to back, neck, and head injuries, or even death.If you are involved in a motorcycle accident that was not your fault, you need to retain an experienced attorney to represent your interests so that you can physically and emotionally recover from your accident as soon as possible.

Courts May Tend to Side With Motorcycle Riders in an Accident Case

Just like in car accidents, proving negligence is the key to winning a motorcycle accident case.  While there are many similarities and the burden of proof in proving negligence is the same, there are some differences as well. In motorcycle accident cases, where there is any amount of doubt regarding negligence, courts will often side with motorcycle riders because they know that riders must be more vigilant when riding because they have very little protection on the road.  It is also a given fact that riders are more highly trained than car or truck drivers, which can also sway the judge and jury as well.
