What to Do After a Motorcycle Accident
There is no feeling quite like riding on a motorcycle. Bikers everywhere enthuse about the freedom they feel while on the open road, but riding a motorcycle can be dangerous. Bikers are less protected than other drivers. Many drivers also fail to recognize motorcyclists’ right of way or rights to a lane of traffic. For these reasons, you may one day find yourself in a motorcycle accident. Here’s what you need to do when this happens.
