The most precarious of situations is that of the motorcyclist—while they enjoy many freedoms with their chosen mode of transportation, they face daily risks and hazards unknown to motorists and truck drivers.
They are unseen by automobile drivers and virtually unprotected by their minimal clothing and gear, motorcyclists must remain aware of their legal rights and available remedies if confronted with an accident.

It is estimated that motorcyclists are 26 times more likely to perish in a crash than a motorist. Also, motorcyclists are 5 times more likely to become injured in an accident.
Challenges Faced by Motorcyclists:
- Motorists often violate motorcyclists’ right of way, causing an accident.
- Motorcyclists are smaller visual targets, are easily obscured by vehicles, and hard to see in harsh weather.
- Motorcyclists are often obscured at intersections where an estimated 70 percent of motorcycle accidents occur.
- At higher speeds, motorcycles are known to “wobble,” making the rude especially unstable and unsafe. Usually caused by a misalignment of the front and rear tires, motorcyclists can become seriously injured in an accident caused by this manufacturing defect. Thus, the manufacturer may be held liable if an accident does occur.
- More so than automobiles, motorcycles require a great deal of skill, coordination, training and riding familiarity. Many accidents are in part due to a rider’s lack of skill and familiarity with riding.
Protect Your Rights:
- If you have been involved in a severe motorcycle accident in Alabama, you must preserve your right to recovery by taking all necessary steps.
- Remain at the accident scene, at least long enough to give a statement, name, and address to the police officer. You may be subject to criminal penalties if you flee.
- Relate all details of the accident to the officer, but avoid definitive statements that may unintentionally blame you for the accident. This is true for making statements concerning your health. Injuries may take a few days to appear.
