Motorcycle passenger dies of crash injuries

A woman passenger injured Sunday when the Harley Davidson she was riding was struck by a car died Wednesday at Sarasota Memorial Hospital, the Florida Highway Patrol said Wednesday night. 
The crash victim was identified as Norma Minton, 48, of Portland, Maine. The crash occurred when a car driven by Frank Pafumi, 76, of Osprey, crashed with the motorcycle on US-41 near Bayshore Drive. The driver was charged with failure to yield the right of way. The motorcycle driver, Anthony Ferguson, 53, of Englewood sustained serious injuries.
Since motorcycle crashes often end in serious injuries, victims need immediate help

Motorcycle accidents are more likely to end in serious injuries or death for the motorcyclist, since the rider is not protected from the force of a collision. When a motorcycle accident happens, the injured rider needs immediate, appropriate medical care, the accident needs to be investigated, and the insurance companies need to be informed.

When a motorcycle crash is caused by negligence, additional steps need to be taken to protect the legal rights of the injured motorcyclist or the family members of someone killed in a motorcycle crash. Go here to learn more about motorcycle accidents and claims.
