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.

We drove by the accident that night, and saw who I can only assume was the body of Mr.Evans. My condolences to his family and friends. Very sad. The speed limits need to be reduced on that whole stretch on highway. There was another accident just today infront of the Honda/VW dealership and Deerfield intersection. Drivers need to be more aware and practice safer driving methods. Turn your heads, USE your mirrors like they were meant to. Dont strtive to be "first in line". That extra minute you think you might be saving by speeding or being inconsiderate of other human beings, NOT WORTH IT! Again, my condolences to those affected by this tragedy. I know you pain. R.I.P. Mr. Evans

My condolences to the family! The loss of life, especially one seemingly as rich as his was is always a tragedy. I just don't understand sometimes where it is people are in such a huge hurry to get to? What you're going to kill us and take us from our families because you're selfish and in such a rush to get to nowhere? I see bad drivers everyday I get on the road and I truly think is today going to be the day my number gets pulled? The last thing my girl says to me before I leave and after she tells me she loves me is be careful! It's not my driving that worries me its other people! I'm glad to see they blocked off the crossover at Shetland further north at the airport! That was LONG overdue!
