A motorcycle rider is the most unprotected motorist on the road. Although protective gear can and does make a difference in the injuries a motorcyclist may sustain in the case of a motorcycle accident, injuries even in low-speed accidents are often severe.

Motorcyclists face unique dangers on the road. Because of their small size and because they are not easily visible to cars and trucks, an unknowing driver may cause a motorcycle accident simply because he or she did not see the motorcycle rider coming. Additional causes for motorcycle accidents may be errors on the part of the rider, mechanical failure or poor weather or road conditions.
