Living a New Normal Life After the Accident

Riding a motorcycle takes a different set of skills than when driving a car. A combination of consistent education, a regard for traffic laws and basic common sense goes a long way to helping reduce the amount of fatalities and injuries involved in motorcycle accidents. Even when riders follow all of these rules, wear protective gear and follow defensive driving techniques something can go wrong. We often hear and read about tragic stories of deaths or accidents involving a motorcycle, often with a car involved. We rarely hear about what happens after the accident.
