"The Ultimate Bikers’ Guide to Motorcycle Helmets: How to Choose the Best One for You
Riding a motorcycle is an exciting way to travel. The downside is that, motorcycle riders are at serious risk for catastrophic injuries when they have an accident. Traumatic brain injuries often result from motorcycle crashes.
The rider of a motorcycle is much more susceptible to brain injuries and other bodily harm than the driver of a car. Cars have metal, plastic, and fiberglass that can protect their drivers. Motorcyclists have nothing to protect them but a helmet.
Cars and trucks also have safety features, such as seat belts and airbags, which are not present on motorcycles. As a result, a motorcycle rider tends to suffer far more severe injuries in an accident than an occupant of a car or truck. These motorcyclist’s injuries can involve a long recovery and lost income when time at work is missed.
What to Consider When Selecting a Helmet and How to Maintain It
Because helmets play such an important role in protecting motorcyclists in case of a crash, it is important to select the right one, wear it the right way, and keep it in good shape. To help with this process, Spaulding Injury Law has prepared an informative infographic that spells out the basic considerations when it comes to motorcycle helmets.
Check out the infographic on this page for information on choosing the right type of helmet, making sure it fits properly, how to inspect and maintain your helmet, where to buy a helmet, and more.
Can I Still Recover Compensation If I Was Not Wearing a Helmet?
Many states require every rider on a motorcycle to wear a helmet and protective eyewear. Wearing a helmet reduces the severity of head injuries in a motorcycle accident. If you weren’t wearing a helmet when an accident occurred, you may wonder whether you can still recover compensation for your injuries.
A plaintiff in a motorcycle accident can still recover compensation even if no helmet was worn. This is because not wearing a helmet does not cause an accident. However, the insurance company for the at-fault driver may use the lack of a helmet to argue for a smaller payout. That’s why you need an attorney who will stand up for your rights.
