Motorcycle Accident Attorney in Wyoming
Motorcyclists are among the most at-risk drivers on the road due to their vulnerability compared to other vehicles. This makes motorcycle accidents different from auto accidents, since the motorcyclist is in more danger and is more easily injured, and often are more severely injured and at higher risk for fatalities. Motorcyclists have the same rights on the road as other types of drivers, however, other drivers often ignore these rights and argue that if a motorcycle accident occurs, it’s the motorcyclist’s fault.
Wyoming motorcycle laws protect Wyoming bikers with requirements made to keep you safe. Wyoming motorcycle laws include:
- The motorcycle needs to have a rear-view mirror.
- The handlebar grips need to be below shoulder height.
- Riding between cars (lane-splitting) is illegal.
- A license and liability insurance are required.
- Helmets are required for riders 18 and under.
- Protective eyewear is not required.
- The bike must have a passenger seat and footrest to carry a passenger.
- Sharing lanes with other motorcycles is permitted if both consent.
- Motorcycles have the right to use a full lane.
Oftentimes, motorcycle accidents aren’t the fault of the motorcyclists but rather result from the negligence and ignorance of other drivers. If you’ve been victim to a motorcycle accident, it’s important to hire legal representation as soon as possible. Insurance adjusters are focused on saving money, not paying you your deserved compensation. The attorneys at LeBaron & Jensen are experienced with motorcycle accidents and have the knowledge and experience to ensure you receive a fair settlement. We do the work for you so you can focus on recovery.
Common Causes Of Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle riders are 29 times more likely to die in an accident than a passenger in a car and are 4 times more likely to be injured, according to the NHTSA. Motorcycle accidents commonly result in serious injury, especially with how much more vulnerable riders are compared to drivers and passengers of other vehicles. They are more likely to cause more severe damage and injury in comparison to auto accidents.
Some common causes of motorcycle accidents include:
- Cars failing to yield right of way.
- Other vehicles coming into your lane without signaling.
- Cars trying to pass you in the same lane instead of changing lanes to do so.
- The driver of the car not seeing the motorcycle.
- Spilled objects on the road.
- Vehicles following motorcycles too closely.
Unfortunately, other drivers often behave as though motorcycles do not exist or are not entitled to the same rights as their vehicles on the road. When motorcycle accidents occur, people argue it’s the motorcyclist’s fault, but more often than not, this isn’t the case. If you were injured in a motorcycle accident, hiring a motorcycle accident attorney will ensure that you receive fair and dedicated representation in order to get the compensation you deserve.
