Motorcycle Accidents in Virginia
Far too often, motorcyclists are victimized by careless and reckless drivers across the commonwealth of Virginia. When people are injured in motorcycle collisions, they often face drastic limitations on their ability to perform various tasks. Although motor vehicle accidents can happen for a variety of reasons, the majority of fatal crashes in our state fall under one of three causes, including:
- Speeding: Speed is a factor in over 37.7% of fatal accidents across our state
- Alcohol use: Over 29.4% of fatal crashes in Virginia involve at least one drunk driver
- Not using a seatbelt: People who do not wear seatbelts account for 52% of fatal crashes throughout our state
There are several things you can do to protect yourself while entering the roads. However, there is no way to guarantee that others will act responsibly. As a result, tens of thousands of people are left with debilitating injuries that cause overwhelming pain and suffer. To add to the struggles and frustration, many victims require medical treatment, hospitalization, and therapy for their injuries that costs tens of thousands of dollars. Accidents involving semi-trucks, in particular, are more likely to result in life-altering injuries for victims. In many cases, victims are left with brain injuries, spinal cord damages, and broken bones. Victims often require extensive and expensive medical treatment to help them recover from their injuries. The unfortunate truth is that there is no guarantee that victims will fully recover from their injuries. As a result, thousands of people are left permanently disabled due to the extent of their injuries. When victims are harmed in accidents, due to the negligence of others, it is crucial that they reach out to a motorcycle accident attorney in Virginia as soon as possible.
