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.

There NEEDS to be a traffic light here. I live near this dangerous intersection. People drive way too fast on Route 5. I sometimes have to sit at the intersection for over 10 minutes until it is safe to cross or merge. Even when I have a chance to go, it's pedal to the metal, otherwise I'd be hit as well. Slow down, get off your phone, and drive, people! Also do not speed up to be with the next group of cars ahead, leave ample space so that cars can safely cross the road. Prayers to those who have lost their lives in these tragic accidents.
