Accidents involving motorcyclists are frequently caused by the other driver, who is usually operating a car or truck. This is because inattentive drivers fail to keep a proper lookout and often times do not notice motorcycles in close proximity.
Motorcyclist and their passengers injured while operating their bikes are not covered under the No-Fault Law. This comes as a surprise to many motorcycle accident victims.
