Motor accidents are the leading cause of death between 6-33 year olds in the United States, and when it comes to motorcycle accidents around 3,000 cyclists are killed each year. Many others are seriously injured and undergo serious life changes and disabilities due to motorcycle accidents. As far as statistics go, in most cases a motorcycle accident is not actually the fault of the motorcyclist but of the driver of the car, van, truck, or other vehicle – in a large percentage of cases the other driver was simply unable to see the motorbike; however, this does not excuse them from blame. |
