IT’S SPRING – MOTORCYCLES ARE BACK ON THE ROAD
Yes, it’s frustrating. Our motorcycle accident lawyers have already been getting injury calls. It understandable that when it starts to warm up, riders want to get back on the road. After all, they have been waiting all winter. The problem is that people in cars are often not watching the road. Car drivers get distracted, or they are just not paying attention. A motorcycle can always be hit by a car.
Of course, knowing this, out attorneys would offer some advice to motorcyclists. Most obviously, wear a helmet and protective gear. Most of our motorcycle fatality cases involve riders not wearing a helmet. The law in Minnesota does not require helmet use, but it is highly recommended. In addition, it is required for anyone under the age of 18 on a motorcycle.
