According to the United States Bureau of Transportation Statistics, in 2007 (the most recent year for which data has been fully compiled) there were 254,403,082 highway ready vehicles registered in this country including cars, commercial vehicles, motorcycles, and other automobiles.
When considering that the population of the entire country is not much in excess of 300 million, that seems like a staggering amount of vehicles, and it is indicative of society's reliance on automobile travel as a part of modern life.
7,138,476 registered motorcycles were counted in that total, and with such a substantial number of vehicles and a limited amount of roadway space, the unfortunate reality is that some collisions are bound to occur.
However, to dismissively refer to them as "accidents" may distract from the fact that most traffic incidents can be attributed to the negligence or recklessness of one or more parties.
When this is the case it is likely in a motorcyclist's best interest to file a civil lawsuit in addition to seeking insurance benefits.
This can be essential to ensuring that a rider has the financial resources that he or she needs to contend with the expenses associated with an accident.
Motorcycles are incredibly vulnerable to serious injury in the event of a collision because they do not have many safety features to insulate them from the affects of an impact and can easily be tossed off of a bike.
The severity of these injuries might temporarily or permanently interfere with a motorcyclist's ability to execute job-related responsibilities and can otherwise compromise one's quality of life.
The Benefits of a Winning Lawsuit There is a broad assumption by many laypeople that motorcyclists are innately reckless and therefore should be assumed to have caused any accidents in which they have become involved.
In truth, in multiple vehicle collisions it is more often the other motorist whose negligence resulted in the crash.
This is but one of many reasons why it is important to at least investigate the potential merits of a legal action in the aftermath of a motorcycle accident.
The benefits of a winning lawsuit may include financial compensation for:

• Medical bills and therapy expenses associated with an accident
• Motorcycle repairs or replacement
• Reduced earning potential or lost wages
• Mental anguish
