As warmer weather prevails, more and more motorcycles will be sharing our roadways, which means extra care should be taken by both motorists and motorcycle riders to avoid accidents. The Abogados de accidentes de moto en Portland<\/b><\/a> at DuBois Law Group want to take this opportunity to remind the Portland community to be on the lookout for motorcycles, many of which may be driven by inexperienced first-time motorcycle owners who aren\u2019t your average youthful riders.\u00a0 In fact, according to some reports, the average age of motorcyclists has been increasing right along with the increase in our aging population.<\/p>\n

Consequently, we are seeing a growing number of motorcycle fatalities and severe injuries in older riders as the likelihood of difficulty in recovery from injuries of any type obviously diminish as our bodies age.\u00a0 In fact, a recent Brown University study<\/a> found that motorcycle riders between the ages of 40 and 59, suffer serious bodily injury in the wake of a motorcycle accident 66 percent more often than younger riders and are two and a half times more likely to require emergency treatment after such an accident.<\/p>\n

Therefore, while all motorcyclists should take proper precautions to stay safe while riding, older riders should take extra care, taking into consideration that as we age our reflexes slow, our visual acuity diminishes, and our muscle mass and bone strength are less likely to be able to endure the results of an accident of any kind, especially one that involves a motorcycle.<\/p>\n
