Oklahoma Car Wrecks
Motorcyclists are incredibly vulnerable on the road, facing a high risk of serious or fatal injuries because they have little protection against large, fast-moving vehicles. In the U.S., nearly 6,000 motorcyclists die in traffic accidents each year, and most of these tragic events are caused by careless drivers.
In recent years, negligent driving has become a major issue. Drivers who are distracted, tired, drunk, or speeding often cause accidents that lead to serious injuries or fatalities. More than half of motorcycle crashes occur because drivers don’t see motorcyclists due to being distracted.
If you or someone you care about has been injured in an accident caused by a negligent driver, you shouldn’t have to worry about covering medical costs on top of everything else. That’s why it’s important to work with a skilled motorcycle crash attorney in Oklahoma City.
