Motorcycle Crashes in Kansas
Riding a motorcycle is a pastime enjoyed by many Kansas residents. Unfortunately, the hobby can be extremely dangerous, even for experienced riders. Statistics show that riders are nearly 26 times more likely to be killed in the event of a collision compared to someone traveling in a motor vehicle, and nearly 80 percent of motorcycle accidents end in death or injury. Potholes and uneven roads are annoyances to most drivers, but for motorcyclists, they can cause deadly collisions. Many drivers fail to look out for riders and cause life-changing collisions in the process. If you or someone close to you is hurt in a motorcycle accident, it is important that you are able to pursue a claim for compensation by working with a trained personal injury lawyer.
Motorcycles, by design, leave their riders exposed on the road. It can be difficult to achieve a complete recovery as you deal with serious injuries and unexpected damages.
