Motorcyclists Hurt in Reckless Crashes Should Call Our Motorcycle Accident Lawyers in Marlton, NJ for Help
Motorcycle accidents are perhaps one of the most catastrophic types of motor vehicle accidents. This is due to the fact that motorcyclists have very little protection from the vehicle they collide with, along with the fact that a motorcycle does not have safety features such as airbags, seat belts, or side curtains. Motorcycles are also a smaller size, lighter weight, and only having two wheels, also making motorcycles harder to see, harder to maneuver, and more vulnerable when hit by another motor vehicle. As a result, far too many motorcycle accidents are fatal. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that there are over 5,000 fatalities each year from motorcycle accidents. According to statistics from the Garden State, roughly 80 of these deaths occur on New Jersey roadways. Our experienced motorcycle accident lawyers in Marlton, NJ, know that most of these fatalities are completely avoidable.
