Serious Motorcycle Accident Injury Trial Attorneys

Stacks Image 38

Over 148,000 motorcyclists have lost their lives in motorcycle accidents since the enactment of the Highway Safety and National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act in 1966.

There are approximately 1,900 motorcycle accidents and 1,500 people injured in motorcycle accidents each year in Kentucky. There were 71 fatal motorcycle accidents in 2011 alone. Of those 71 accident victims, 42 were not wearing a helmet.

Most states have enacted some form of motorcycle helmet laws in an effort to reduce serious injuries from motorcycle accidents, head injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and death.


Head injury is the leading cause of death for motorcycle accidents. Most states require at least some riders to wear a helmet at all times. In an effort to reduce serious motorcycle accidents and brain injuries, some states require all motorcycle riders to wear helmets at all times. Iowa, Illinois, and New Hampshire are the only states that do not currently have a motorcycle helmet law..


Driver inattention and motorcycle accidents

Many motorcycle accidents occur due to driver inattention. According to Kentucky’s most recent data, driver inattention was a factor in 32% of all motorcycle collisions in 2011. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that, per vehicle mile traveled, motorcyclists are thirty-seven times more likely to die in an accident than passenger car occupants.
