Seattle Motorcycle Accident Attorney | Utah Motorcyclist Rescued by Good Samaritans

Blog Categories:

As a Seattle motorcycle accident attorney, I see a lot of evidence for why motorcyclists need to be extremely careful, and perhaps above all follow Washington’s helmet law. Komonews.com is carrying coverage of a video that went viral on the internet showing a diverse group of people in Salt Lake City, UT lifting a car off of a motorcyclist after a collision. The driver of the car was not seriously injured, and the injuries to the motorcyclist, thankfully, do not include head trauma despite the fact that he was not wearing a helmet. The group of people who pitched in appears to include construction workers, a police officer, some students wearing backpacks; it looks like just a random collection of good folks who happened to be in the area and felt that they needed to help.

Every year, over four thousand motorcyclists are killed in collisions in the United States. This collision did not result in fatal injury thanks in part to the work of these regular people who stopped to help. While this collision occurred in Utah, accidents very much like it happen all the time in places closer to home, like Renton. One way that Renton motorcyclists can reduce the risks that are inherent in motorcycle riding is to wear a helmet and riding leathers, but just any helmet may not be enough. There are helmets out there that you can buy that will not give you the optimal protection you want if you are in a collision. The Washington State Patrol has some great information on what you should look for in a safe helmet.

If you have been in a Seattle motorcycle accident, it can be difficult to know what your rights are. You need to contact a dedicated, aggressive Renton motorcycle attorney who can evaluate your situation, explain your rights, and protect your legal interests. There is a lot to think about when you have been injured, and Renton motorcycle accident attorney Jason Epstein can help you decide whether your accident involved negligence and help you recover the compensation you deserve.
