Motorcycle Accident

Motorcycle Accidents – Motorcyclists have very little protection in an accident, regardless of the quality of their helmet, jacket, and other protective gear. Vehicle drivers enclosed in cars, trucks, and vans have the added protection of seat belts and air bags, while motorcyclists have none of these. As a result, most motorcyclists suffer catastrophic injuries in an accident, including:
- Road Rash
- Broken Bones
- Brain Injuries
- Spinal Cord Injuries
What is the Alaska Helmet Law for Motorcycles?
Motorcycle riders under the age of 18 must wear motorcycle helmets under Alaskan law. Riders over the age of 18 with a motorcycle license are not required to wear a helmet. However, it’s always the best choice to wear a helmet while operating a motorcycle in case of a motorcycle accident.
Liability in Motorcycle Accidents
Reckless motorcyclists speeding or travelling between lanes and negligently riding in a vehicle’s blind spot causing many motorcycle accidents. Negligent motorists also cause crashes by changing lanes, merging, and turning corners without checking for motorcyclists sharing the road.
Even when a motorcyclist is passing through a driver’s blind spot, the driver can prevent a motorcycle accident by turning their head to look. If you are a motorcyclist who has been seriously injured in an accident caused by a negligent motorist, speak with an Alaskan personal injury lawyer right away.
