Indiana Motorcycle Accidents
The vast majority of motorcycle accidents are not caused by the motorcyclist, but by inattentive drivers who say they didn't see the motorcycle. When you combine auto driver inattention with a bike's lack of protection, you have a recipe for disaster.

Injuries from motorcycle accidents are often more severe and debilitating than those suffered by the driver of the car or truck. Leg, ankle and foot injuries are the most common; brain injury, spinal cord injury and wrongful death are the most severe. Premature death is all too common, tragically depriving families of riders who are often in the prime of life.
