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.

My dear friend Rich was the
My dear friend Rich was the safest and most careful rider. A member of the Blue nights and very cautious. It pains me to see and hear of his death! I would never believe that this is of his negligence. Rich is a former police officer and knows the laws inside and out, he would never put someone's life at danger!
