ALL PASCO COUNTY BIKE RELATED INJURIES AND DEATHS
“The driving public is many times unaware of the risks associated with being on a motorcycle. Many times a motorcycle accident is caused by failure of the motor vehicle to even recognize that a motorcycle is nearby. Unfortunately, being on a motorcycle means that you stand a chance to be punished for the mistakes of other drivers.”
– Jason M. Melton, Esquire – Florida Motorcycle Injury Attorney, founding member of the National Academy of Motorcycle Injury Lawyers
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2008, 47 percent of all motorcycles involved in lethal crashes collided with another type of motor vehicle in transport. When involved in two-vehicle crashes, 77 percent of the motorcycles implicated were struck in the front. Only 7 percent were hit in the back. You don’t need to be a human factors expert or an engineer to appreciate how dangerous these statistics are.
Motorcycles in New Port Richey and throughout Pasco County are more likely to be involved in a fatal collision with a rigid object than are other vehicles. In 2008, 25 percent of all motorcycles involved in deadly crashes collided with fixed objects, compared to 19 percent for passenger cars, 14 percent for light trucks, and 4 percent for large trucks.
Practicing motorcycle safety every time you ride can keep you safe from the everyday dangers on Florida’s roadways. Just as drivers have a legal responsibility to drive with a sensible mind to prevent accidents, companies and government agencies have a legal responsibility to keep our roads realistically secure to ride on.
