St. Louis Motorcycle Accident Injury Attorneys

Motorcycle Accidents in Missouri

Motorcycle accidents are some of the most disastrous our injury attorneys have seen. Many of these accidents are entirely avoidable and are due to another driver’s inattention or lack of knowledge of a motorcycle rider’s rights on the road. Several of our lawyers are motorcyclists and have firsthand knowledge of the dangers presented by other drivers on the road. We understand the general bias against riders and how to minimize that effect on your case.

In 2010, Missouri repealed its long-standing helmet law. The new law permits motorcycle operators over the age of 18 to ride without a helmet on our state's roadways. Proponents of the old law are now petitioning Missouri representatives to revert back to requiring helmets. For good reason. Your chances of surviving a motorcycle crash without a helmet are dramatically reduced. Even a low speed impact or single vehicle accident can result in catastrophic injuries or death if the operator is not hearing a helmet.

What Should You do if you are Injured in a Motorcycle Accident?

3. Do not give a recorded statement to anyone.
4. Make sure police have created an accurate police report of your crash.

Common types of injury from a motorcycle crash can include bone fractures, knee injury, head injury, shoulder injury, deep abrasions, and internal organ damage. It is recommended that any victim seek quality medical care at a level-1 trauma center if you are seriously injured on a motorcycle. Yes, protective clothing and helmets have come a long way in the past 15 years, but nothing will ever provide total protection from serious injury or death. The general physics of a bad motorcycle crash favor the driver of the passenger vehicle every single time.
