Deadly Motorcycle Accidents in Oklahoma

A motorcycle accident can easily result in serious injuries, and riders have been known to get major injuries or even injuries that change their lives. Motorcyclists make up too many of the deaths on American roads. This is because the rider has limited protection from the full force of the crash. Studies show that almost 80 percent of motorcycle accidents result in death or serious injury. Motorcyclists are almost 27 times more likely to be killed and four times more likely to be hurt in an accident than someone within the protected enclosure of a car. If someone close to you loses their life in a motorcycle crash, you should file a strong wrongful death claim to seek justice.
