Motorcycle helmet
What Types of Bike helmets Are Available?
Motorcycle helmets are a rider's primary form of protection, safeguarding their head and face from potential injuries during accidents.
Helmets come in various styles and designs, such as:
- Full-face
- Modular
- Open-face helmets
Each type of helmet offers distinct features and levels of protection.
Helmets are engineered to meet stringent safety standards set by organizations like the Snell Memorial Foundation and the Department of Transportation. Helmet manufacturers employ advanced technologies, rigorous testing, and meticulous design to create helmets that provide optimal protection.
They consider factors such as impact resistance, shell strength, and shock-absorbing liners, such as expanded polystyrene foam, to enhance the helmet's protective capabilities.
Can Helmets Protect Motorcyclists in the Event of an Accident?
Full-face motorcycle helmets offer the highest level of protection, covering the entire head, including the face, chin, and jaw. These helmets feature a sturdy chin bar, providing additional defense against frontal impacts and facial injuries.
Open-face helmets offer less protection but can still safeguard the top of the head.
However, open-face helmets may require additional protective measures, such as goggles or a face shield, to shield the face from debris, wind, and potential injuries.
Unfortunately, despite their protective capabilities, motorcycle helmets have limitations, especially when faced with severe accidents involving reckless drivers.
Because of this, it’s important to speak with an experienced motorcycle accident lawyer as soon as possible after a traffic collision.
How Can an Attorney Help Me Recover Accident Damages?
At MVP Accident Attorneys, our experienced motorcycle accident lawyers understand the significance of motorcycle helmet use in determining fault and recovering compensation after an accident.
Insurance companies may attempt to minimize payout by claiming that a rider was not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident, arguing that it contributed to their severe injuries.
Our legal team will thoroughly investigate the accident scene, analyzing the crash dynamics, and consult with an accident reconstruction expert if necessary. We will show that the negligence of the other party was the primary cause of the accident and resulting injuries, regardless of helmet use.
Our attorneys will negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf and fight for your right to fair compensation to cover the cost of all accident-related damages.
