Fatalities caused by motorcycle accidents are on the rise due to the increased number of inexperienced motorcycle riders on the nations' roadways. Studies reveal that over 90% of young motorcycle riders involved in accidents at this point in time are self-taught or educated in motorcycle riding techniques by their friends who may also lack the expertise to be safe riders.

Two major causes of motorcycle accidents are speeding and riding under the influence of alcohol and drugs.

Motorcycle riding is an experience that can be enjoyed safely if you learn motorcycle riding techniques from a trained professional, do not attempt to drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs, obey posted speed limits and traffic laws, wear protective gear, and always drive defensively.

Motorcycle accident injuries can be catastrophic and may involve fractures and broken bones, abrasions, soft tissue trauma, paralysis, amputations, traumatic brain injury, and spinal cord injury. A motorcycle accident victim is entitled to seek financial compensation for their injuries. An experienced motorcycle accident attorney such as those at The Cochran Firm will ensure you get the representation and any financial compensation you are entitled to.
