The firm has recovered $4.8 million for a motorcycle accident victim in the DC region and understands the unique legal challenges riders face. Video Transcript **Allan Siegel (00:02):** We are a personal injury law firm. That is the only type of work that this law firm does. If you were injured as a result of somebody else’s negligence, then that’s a case that we would handle. So what does that include? Car crash cases. It includes bicycle crash cases, scooter cases, pedestrian accident cases, truck crash cases. It includes bus cases, all of those things, but it also includes situations where you might be hurt on somebody else’s premises. **Ira Sherman (00:40):** The insurance company knows that we are aggressive, we are creative. We have the funds to fund a case and hire experts, and as a result, they distinguish us in a category of law firms that they need to know and do know that we can take the case from day one all the way through trial successfully. **Stephen Ollar (01:05):** Insurance is an important factor, not just the insurance coverage on the vehicle that struck you, but also if you have additional insurance coverage that may compensate you if you have very serious injuries. The degree of your injury is important. **Joseph Cammarata (01:21):** Our approach is victim oriented in the sense that we are concerned for the wellbeing of our clients. We do everything to better their lot in life. A person that’s injured in a crash or bike accidents or pedestrian accidents, their life typically gets turned upside down. And we try to right that balance. **Allan Siegel (01:57):** If you’ve been injured as a result of somebody else’s negligence or as a result of somebody else’s intentional act, that’s a case that we would handle and that’s a case that you should call us to consult with us on. With 8.6 million motorcycles registered in the U.S., over 3,000 registrations come from Washington DC. So, it’s no surprise that there is not a shortage of [motorcycle accidents](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/motorcycle-accidents/) on the road. And with cyclists having little protection from the road and other vehicles, motorcycle accidents are the most dangerous accidents for everyone involved. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there were over [5,000 motorcycle deaths](https://crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/Api/Public/Publication/813112) in the U.S. in 2019 and 84,000 injuries. And cyclists are 29 times more likely to die in motor vehicle traffic crashes than occupants of passenger cars. ![Washington DC Motorcycle Safety Statistics, safety, sign]() ## Motorcycle Crashes in Washington DC Even though the District of Columbia has the least amount of motorcycles registered in the country, it is not exempt from the dangers of riding a motorcycle. In 2019, three motorcycle riders were involved in [fatal crashes](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/motorcycle-accidents/when-a-family-member-is-in-a-fatal-motorcycle-accident/). ## Helmet Laws in DC The [NHTSA](https://www.nhtsa.gov/road-safety/motorcycles) estimates that helmets saved the lives of almost 2,000 motorcycle riders in 2017\. If all motorcyclists had worn helmets, 749 lives could have been saved. In states without universal helmet laws, 57% of motorcyclists killed were not wearing helmets, compared to 9% in states with universal helmet laws. In Washington DC, all motorcycle riders must wear a DOT-approved helmet when operating their vehicle. This includes both drivers and passengers. In addition to a[ motorcycle helmet](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/motorcycle-accidents/washington-dc-motorcycle-helmet-laws/), motorists must wear protective eye gear such as goggles or a windshield. ## Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents Most motorcycle [accidents occur](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/motorcycle-accidents/common-causes/) due to rider error. This can include riding without a [valid license](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/motorcycle-accidents/what-do-you-need-to-get-your-washington-dc-motorcycle-license/), failing to yield the right of way or speeding. [Alcohol consumption](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/car-accidents/drunk-driving-accidents/) is also a significant factor in motorcycle accidents; 42% of motorcycle riders involved in [single-vehicle crashes](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/car-accidents/single-vehicle-accidents/) were alcohol-impaired, and 21% in multiple vehicle accidents. Riders under the influence of alcohol are more likely to be involved in fatal accidents than those who are not. Speed is another major factor in motorcycle accidents, and speeding is often the cause of serious injuries or fatalities. Some other [common causes of motorcycle accidents](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/motorcycle-accidents/common-causes/) include: * Road departures and [hazardous road conditions](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/car-accidents/roadway-defects/) * Aggressive driving * [Distracted driving](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/car-accidents/distracted-driving/) * [Defective](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/personal-injury/personal-injury/product-liability/) motorcycle parts ## Common Motorcycle Injuries ![motorcycle, sign]() Motorcycle riders are 29 times more likely to die than passenger vehicle occupants. This means that the [injuries victims suffer](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/motorcycle-accidents/common-injuries/) are often more severe and deadly in motorcycle crashes. The most common injuries sustained in motorcycle accidents are traumatic brain injuries, followed by fractures and road rash. Head injuries can range from minor [concussions](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/brain-injuries/concussions/ "concussions") to more serious [traumatic brain injuries](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/brain-injuries/treatment-for-traumatic-brain-injury/), often fatal. Fractures are also common in motorcycle accidents, particularly the legs and arms. Road rash is another common injury, and it can occur when a rider is thrown from their motorcycle and slides along the pavement. ## DC Motorcycle Laws to Be Aware Of Before you take your motorcycle out on the road, it’s important to make sure you are aware of the traffic [laws and regulations](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/motorcycle-accidents/washington-dc-motorcycle-laws/) for motorcycles in Washington DC. * Motorcyclists must have passed a motorcycle rider safety course and have a valid motorcycle license, [insurance](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/motorcycle-accidents/washington-dc-motorcycle-insurance-laws/), and registration to operate a motorcycle in Washington D.C. * Motorcyclists are required to obey all posted speed limits, use proper turn signals, and yield to pedestrians. * Motorcyclists cannot park their bikes on the sidewalk * Motorcycles must have a passenger footrest and seat whenever carrying a passenger * Motorcycles must have a left-side rear-view mirror ## Ways to Avoid a Motorcycle Accident in Washington DC While [avoiding fatal motorcycle crashes ](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/motorcycle-accidents/how-to-avoid-motorcycle-accidents/)is not entirely possible, there are things motorcyclists can do to take [precautions and stay safe](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/motorcycle-accidents/safety-tips-for-riding-in-washington-dc/) while riding. Riders should always wear a helmet and protective clothing and should never ride under the influence of alcohol or drugs. They should also obey the speed limit and [be aware of their surroundings](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/car-accidents/types-of-distracted-driving/). If you are involved in a motorcycle accident, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. ## What Should I Do If I’m Injured in a Motorcycle Accident? ![motorcycle, safety, sign]() If you or someone you love has [been injured in a motorcycle collision](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/motorcycle-accidents/what-to-do-after-a-washington-dc-motorcycle-accident/), it’s important to seek medical attention as soon as possible.
