Motorcyclists are among the most vulnerable people on the road. In fact, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation's motorcycle accident statistics, a motorcyclist is 16 times more likely to die in an accident than a motor vehicle occupant, as well as three times more likely to be injured than those in cars.
Yet often, the accident is not the result of bad driving on the motorcyclist’s part, but because of the negligent driving of someone else. Whether it is simply because a driver is not paying close enough attention to the road, or because he or she is driving drunk behind the wheel, a motorcyclist faces more danger on the road than any other type of motorist.

So that you can cut down the chances of ever having to contact one of the motorcycle accident lawyers of North Carolina at Brent Adams & Associates, here are a few simple rules to remember.
Drive defensively. The more you watch out for what other drivers are doing, the better chances you have to avoid a collision.
Obey the speed limit. Obviously, if you’re involved in a motorcycle accident and it is proven that you were driving above the speed limit, your chances of your case coming out on top may be less.
Take into account the weather and/or road conditions. Motorcyclists can succumb to bad weather or poor road conditions more easily than those driving automobiles. Drive according to the environment you’re in.
Wear a helmet. Some states do not require helmets, such as Pennsylvania. But NC does, so obey the law and protect your head.
Stay calm. If you are in an accident, try to remain calm. Having a clear head when speaking to law enforcement officers can greatly help your case.
We are proud to represent safe and responsible motorcyclists who have been in accidents, and fight for them to get the maximum benefits available under the law. We want them to continue to be able to experience unique freedom that they have on the open road. But as is usually the case in life, when you get more of one thing, you get less of another. In this case, you get more freedom on the road, but also are more at risk for serious injury.
Generally speaking, the injuries received in motorcycle accidents are much more severe than those from regular vehicular accidents. If a motorcycle accident has affected your quality of life, or if a loved one has been severely injured or killed in a motorcycle accident, you may need to speak with one of Brent Adams & Associates’ motorcycle accident lawyers of North Carolina. Whether you drive a Harley or a Honda, a sport bike or a cruiser, Brent Adams & Associates will do everything we can to make sure you are protected to the full extent under the law.
