The Importance of Wearing a Helmet on a Motorcycle
The Cochran Firm's personal injury
attorneys always urge motorcyclists to wear helmets when they enjoy their
motorcycles. There is nothing in the world more important than your health and
your safety.
Motorcycle
accidents are always dangerous, but they're particularly devastating when
the motorcyclist is not wearing a helmet. To ride a motorcycle without a
helmet, even when doing so is legal in your state, is to put yourself in danger
of a lethal injury, even if you do everything right.
There are legal reasons to wear a helmet as well. While laws
vary by state, your helmet status at the time of the accident will likely have
an effect on your ability to pursue compensation. You will still be able to
file a suit if you were injured while not wearing a helmet, but an opposing
personal injury attorney will likely argue that you sustained some injuries as
a result of your own decisions.
So wear a helmet when at all possible. It could save your
life, and it could make your pursuit of justice and compensation more
successful.
