The Motorcycle Lawyer received news today of a crash involving a motorcycle being hit by a semi truck.  Like most cases we see here at The Motorcycle Lawyer's office, the crash was a result of the biker not being seen as the truck made a left turn.  The University of Iowa student was thrown from the bike and as he was spinning through the air, lost his shoe.  We always stress the importance of wearing proper safety gear, however, this rider was in a sweatshirt and shorts with NO helmet on.  He's a lucky guy because, amazingly, this young biker walked away from the accident relatively unharmed.  The driver of the truck was cited for Failure to Yield.  

It's always best to take safety courses and wear a helmet and leathers.  As bikers you are much more vulnerable than drivers when on the open road.  In the event of a motorcycle accident, call The Motorcycle Lawyer and we'll get you the benefits you deserve.
