Although motorcyclists enjoy an extra dose of adrenaline from their preferred means of transportation, motorcycles also are inherently much more dangerous. Specifically, motorcycle accidents are much more likely to result in bodily injury than car or truck accidents. FindLaw's Motorcycle Accidents section contains articles and resources to help you make smarter choices regarding safety and to better understand how to determine liability and what to do after a motorcycle accident. Articles cover motorcycle defects and recalls, mandatory motorcycle helmet laws, the extraordinary safety risks common to motorcyclists, and how to file an accident claim.
