Helmet use is crucial for motorcycle safety, backed by data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Helmets have saved over 25,000 lives between 2002 and 2017, reducing fatal injuries by 37% for riders and 41% for passengers, impacting accident claims significantly.
In accidents, helmet use plays a pivotal role in liability and compensation discussions. At Vining Law Firm in New Haven, CT, we handle these complexities to ensure fair compensation for our clients, even when helmets are a factor.
