The damage caused to you and your property if you get into a Connecticut motorcycle accident can be devastating. Injuries that result from motorcycle accidents can be very severe, but there are also ways that you can minimize these types of injuries.
-
Wear a helmet: While Connecticut law does not require motorcycle riders to wear a helmet, helmets have been proven by study after study to help reduce the severity of injury when you get into an accident. Wearing a helmet could literally be a life or death decision.
-
Wear proper clothing. Some of the most devastating injuries you can experience when riding a motorcycle come as a result of not wearing proper clothing. While it can be enticing in the summer months to ride your motorcycle in a t-shirt and shorts, this type of outfit will leave you with severe injuries if you ever get into an accident.
-
Obey the speed limit. Time and time again obeying the speed limit has been proven as one of the most effective ways to prevent serious injury when riding the roadways. It can be tempting to speed down the highway and zoom past all those slow-moving cars, but it can also be deadly.
Following the rules of the road and using some common sense when riding your motorcycle will help keep you safe in the event that you are ever injured in a Connecticut motorcycle accident.
