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.

The driver that killed Jacob had a court date on 4/7/16.  His case was dropped to him only getting 2 tickets. 1 for careless driving & 1 for failure to maintain his lane. The attorney for the Voigt family has asked the judge to have this case go trial so justice can be served. How can someone kill someone & only get 2 tickets.
