Liability For El Paso Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcyclists account for a disproportionate number of serious injury collisions in the United States. According to the NHTSA, “In 2020 there were 5,579 motorcyclists killed, 14 percent of all traffic fatalities. This is the highest number of motorcyclists killed since FARS started in 1975.” The vast majority of motorcycle accidents are preventable and involve some amount of human error. Victims of motorcycle accidents tend to suffer very serious injuries including:
- Broken bones
- Head injuries
- Lacerations
- PTSD
Drivers have a legal obligation to exercise due care in order to avoid causing accidents. Many motorcycle collisions are due to drivers that make dangerous turns.
