Motorcycle Accidents Without A Helmet

Question: Can I file a claim for a motorcycle accident if I wasn’t wearing a helmet?

Answer:

After a motorcycle accident where somebody is seriously hurt, they often want to know, “Am I entitled to recover for my damages if I wasn’t wearing my helmet?” The law says you don’t have to wear a helmet. That can’t be held against you. There are some things that need to be taken into consideration however. You know if you’re a motorcycle rider, people have preconceived ideas and preconceived notions, but those exist no matter what. It doesn’t stop you from asserting your rights, and an experienced lawyer can help you work around those issues.
