Frequently Asked Questions
Does road surface condition matter for motorcycle safety?
Yes. Loose gravel, wet pavement, potholes and painted lane markings all reduce tire grip for a motorcycle far more than for a car, making braking and cornering less predictable.
What gear actually helps reduce injury in a motorcycle crash?
A DOT-approved helmet, a reinforced jacket and pants, gloves, and over-the-ankle boots are the basics. Abrasion-resistant materials and built-in armor at the shoulders, elbows, hips and knees cut down on road rash and blunt injuries.
What usually causes crashes like this one?
Common factors include a driver failing to see or yield to a motorcycle, especially at intersections, sudden lane changes, speed, and distracted driving. Investigators have not said what caused this crash.
Why do motorcycle crashes tend to cause more serious injuries than car crashes?
Riders have no frame, airbags or seatbelt to absorb impact, so the force of a collision transfers directly to the rider. Even low-speed crashes can cause broken bones or head injuries.
What to Do After a Motorcycle Accident in Henrico County, VA
If you're involved in a motorcycle crash, you should get checked by a medical provider even if injuries seem minor at first, since soreness and swelling from road rash or joint trauma can take hours to show up. Remember to take photos of the scene, the vehicles involved, and any visible injuries if it's safe to do so, and get the names and contact information of witnesses. File a report with local police if one hasn't already been taken, and keep copies of any medical records or repair estimates that follow. Riders recovering from a crash should also ask a doctor about nerve or soft-tissue damage, which isn't always obvious right away.
