Motorcycle riders are in a precarious position on Missouri’s roadways since they do not have the same protections that occupants of passenger cars have, yet they can travel at high speed. They often suffer traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) in accidents, regardless of whether they were wearing helmets. Researchers at the National Institutes of Health have identified six brain functions that…
Motorcycles have just as much right to be on Missouri’s roadways as other passenger vehicles. The problem is that their riders are much more vulnerable to injury than those in enclosed vehicles are if an accident occurs. Motorcyclists often face more serious injuries than just road rash, such as serious head injuries and spinal cord injuries. An accident in which…

Life can change drastically in a matter of seconds. Accidents involving motorcycles happen frequently and commonly result in catastrophic injuries, permanent disability, and an ongoing need for medical care. Recently, a young Missouri man is feared to have suffered serious head injuries after crashing his motorcycle. The accident occurred when the motorcycle and an SUV collided just after 1 p.m.…
It is a story that is told too often: a motorcyclist is severely injured because another driver didn’t see the motorcycle until it was too late. Although motorcycle laws vary from state-to-state, motorists in general are reminded to safely share the road with motorcycles and owe a duty of reasonable care to avoid a collision with a motorcycle. Missouri motorcyclists…

Road rash, broken bones and head trauma are just a few of the many likely injuries to result from a cyclist being thrown from their bike or colliding with another vehicle. A motorcycle driver can…
