Motorcyclist's Death is a Reminder of the Importance of Sensible Driving Habits for Everyone on the Road, says Legal Defenders at the Law Offices of Burg & Brock

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A January 19 article on Oregon Live reports on a Portland motorcyclist who was killed while attempting to pass other vehicles by driving against oncoming traffic. The middle-aged motorcyclist was speeding well above the limit and was also not fully licensed to operate a motorcycle. After T-boning an SUV, the man was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital. The occupant of the SUV was unharmed, however. Los Angeles based personal injury firm Legal Defenders at the Law Offices of Burg & Brock says that aggressive motorcyclists and drivers may think that they are skilled enough to break the rules of the road without consequence, but it only takes a single miscalculation to cause a lethal catastrophe.

The best way to minimize the risks of a devastating collision is to practice defensive driving while driving at an appropriate and legal speed and paying attention to traffic laws – most of which were written for good reasons.

Legal Defenders says that every time a driver makes a risky or aggressive maneuver, they risk debilitating injuries and death, more often than most people think, as well as very costly liability. The personal injury firm says that, other issues aside, those responsible for traffic collisions are also putting the financial and emotional wellbeing of their families at stake—especially if the responsible party does not survive the collision.
