Motorcycle Accidents

A motorcycle rider is very vulnerable and an accident is much more likely to result in an injury. There are no airbags or crumple zones to absorb the impact. Some of the worst traffic accident injuries are those involving motorcycles. Because motorcycles offer little protection for their operators in comparison to cars and trucks, the fatality rate for motorcycle operators is significant. Every day motorcyclists on Canada’s roads and highways are severely injured or killed, often as a result of the negligence of other drivers. Car and truck drivers often don’t see motorcycles. No matter how careful the motorcyclist, accidents happen. When they do, the injuries are often catastrophic including head injury and traumatic brain injury.
