Like all other motorized vehicles, motorcycles can be a useful and enjoyable means of transportation. But, they can also be incredibly dangerous. A motorcycle accident attorney from the Scanlan Law Group is all too familiar with the dangers of motorcycling and has represented a number of individuals who have been injured in motorcycle accidents.

More than 120,000 motorcyclists have died in traffic crashes since the enactment of the Highway Safety and National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966. Per vehicle mile, motorcyclists are about 26 times as likely as passenger car occupants to die in a traffic crash.

And the statistics associated with motorcycle injuries are getting worse. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's 2002 report on motorcycles shows that the number of fatal motorcycle crashes is on the rise. In recent years, both fatality and injury rates have steadily increased. In 2002, 3,244 motorcyclists were killed and an additional 65,000 were injured in motorcycle crashes in the United States - 1 percent more than the 3,197 motorcyclist fatalities in 2001 and 7 percent more than the 60,000 motorcyclist injuries reported in 2001. In fact, the fatality rate for motorcyclists has dramatically increased during the ten-year period from 1992-2002.

To a motorcycle accident attorney the injuries that can result from motorcycle accidents are depressingly familiar: brain and spinal cord injuries; fractures; abrasions; internal and soft tissue injuries; burn injuries; and just about every other injury associated with the operation of other motorized vehicles.
