On June 28, 2008, a car wreck occurred in Florida that injured ten motorcyclists and resulted in twelve people being sent to area hospitals. Four motorcyclists were seriously injured and needed to be air lifted to a Florida medical center.
The car wreck was caused by a car that drifted into oncoming traffic, causing it to collide with the motorcyclists.
Motorcyclists are at a higher risk for injury during a car wreck. This is because they do not have the protection that is provided by crashworthy features in a vehicle. In addition, because of a combination of the smaller scale of a motorcycle and driver distraction, many drivers are not aware of their presence.
Car wreck attorneys are helping those who have been seriously injured because of car wrecks caused by negligence.
