Motorcycle Accidents in Delaware
Motorcycle crashes pose a great risk for victims. According to statistic
s, approximately 80% of motorcycle accidents will result in injuries to the rider. Motorcycle accidents occur for a variety of reasons, but in many cases, they occur because of the negligence of the other motorist. Motorcyclists can suffer serious injuries, including broken bones, head trauma, road rash, and more.
Following a motorcycle crash, victims may have important legal rights. This includes the right to receive compensation for their injuries. Because many motorcyclists are injured by negligent drivers, their right to recover damages often comes into play. However, many accident victims fail to fully exercise their rights. They may accept a low settlement offer from the insurance company rather than fully maximizing their compensation.
