Baton Rouge Motorcycle Accident Attorney
People see the bumper stickers, the billboards and even the television commercials asking them to the “share the road” everywhere. Unfortunately, it still seems like these same people have a hard time actually seeing the motorcycles. And motorcycles are everywhere. The motorcycle rider has gone from the fringe riders in the 70s to a full-blown subculture today.
With more riders on the highways, proper motorcycle safety is an absolute necessity. Even the safest riders have accidents however, often due to the negligence of other drivers on the road. Spencer Calahan Injury Lawyers specializes in handling motorcycle accidents in Louisiana and can help you get the maximum compensation for your injuries.
The Danger of Motorcycles in Louisiana
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, motorcycle riders are far more likely to be injured or killed if they are involved in an accident. In fact, the rate for motorcycle fatalities in 2006 was 72.34 per 100,000 registered motorcycles compared to 13.10 per 100,000 registered cars. Understanding proper motorcycle safety is essential to ensure you remain safe while on the road. Some things you can do to increase your safety include:
• Get the proper training • Wear proper safety gear • Ride unimpaired by alcohol & drugs • Understand your riding skills • Avoid riding during inclement weather
Even when you adhere to all safety procedures the one thing you cannot control when you are riding a motorcycle on Louisiana highways is the other drivers on the road. Protect yourself by properly insuring your motorcycle and if you are involved in a motorcycle accident contact Calahan Law immediately.
