According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there were 7.1 million motorcycles on the nation’s roads in 2007. With more people owning motorcycles in Washington State and elsewhere in the nation, we are also seeing an increase in the number of motorcycle accidents every year. It is not only important that motorcyclists wear protective gear, but they also need to undergo training to safely operate motorcycles. We have often observed that motorcyclists who have undergone training, ride carefully, follow all traffic rules and wear protective gear are looked at much more favorably by jurors in a personal injury case.
