    Fighting for the Rights of Motorcycle Accident Victims

    There are many reasons why the motorcycle is as popular as it is in the United States. Motorcycles are generally less expensive than cars and trucks, and they tend to be much more efficient in terms of fuel. Aside from economic reasons, however, is the notion that riding a motorcycle is simply an exhilarating experience, and that's why an entire subculture of bikers exists in the United States today as it has for decades.

    However, driving and riding motorcycles is also an inherently dangerous activity, and when motorcycle accidents occur, they tend to lead to serious injuries and deaths. If this has happened to you or someone you love, contact the motorcycle accident lawyers at Parilman & Associates today to schedule a free initial consultation.

    Below you'll find an overview of the motorcycle accidents issue in the United States.

    Motorcycle Statistics

    According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA), motorcycle fatalities are on the rise, and have been since 1997. Consider the following statistics for 2007:
    1. More than 5,000 people were killed in motorcycle accidents.
    2. The 2007 statistic represented the 10th consecutive year that this number rose.
    3. The number of motorcycle registrations has increased in a manner commensurate with the rising number of accidents since 1997.
    4. Almost half of the number of people killed in motorcycle accidents in 2007 were 40 years old or older.
    5. More than 2,000 collisions occurred on the front side of a motorcycle with another vehicle.

    Legal Considerations

    Aside from the statistics above, someone who has been injured or the loved ones of someone who has been killed in a motorcycle accident need to consider the complications involved with pursuing a legal claim against the party or parties at fault for the accident. There are several questions that must be answered properly before proceeding, and the answers are difficult to obtain for someone without the proper training and experience.

    For instance, victims must assess the identity of the proper defendants, what to tell their insurance company and any other insurance company involved, when to file a claim, how to handle an accident report and many other technical and complicated issues in order to successfully protect their rights.

    Rather than attempt to handle all of this yourself, contact the motorcycle accident lawyers at the law firm of Parilman & Associates today to schedule a free initial consultation. Doing so will put a successful legal team to work for you and allow you to concentrate on your recovery.
