Some people don’t like motorcycles being on our roads. They think motorcycle drivers are less safe than people driving cars. They’re more likely to believe that someone driving a motorcycle is at fault for a traffic accident, even before they hear any facts about the case. But the truth is, motorcycle drivers have just as much of a right to drive on our roads as any other drivers.

Motorcycle drivers should not be treated less than by the civil justice system, insurance companies, or defense lawyers just because they choose to live more free, driving in the open air. This is America. And if you were driving a motorcycle and someone else is at fault for causing you injuries, they should pay everything that is owed to you, for what they did to you.
