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. In 2006 alone, more than 76,000 motorcyclists were injured and more than 4,000 lost their lives in motorcycle accidents throughout the U.S. Although motorcycles account for only 2% of registered vehicles, motorcycle accidents account for 9% of traffic fatalities. Per vehicle mile traveled, motorcyclists were about 32 times more likely than passenger car occupants to die in an accident.  Motorists involved in crashes with motorcycles commonly failed to observe the Missouri Statutory RULES OF THE ROAD.

In 2010, Missouri repealed its long-standing helmet law.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.
