The most important safety measure to take in preventing Cherry Hill motorcycle accidents is to wear a helmet. The science is refutable about how helmets can prevent and reduce the significance of injuries and death of motorcyclists. It is also crucial to make the lights on your motorcycle are on while riding, regardless of the time of day. A lot of times, people just simply do not see motorcyclists, so it is important to make sure your lights are on, wear reflective clothing, and be a defensive driver as to not assume that other motorists are going to follow proper traffic laws or that they can even see you.
There are many safety measures you can and should take to prevent serious collisions, and wearing a helmet is just one of them. However, if you have been injured due to another’s negligence, it is pertinent that you consult with an experienced motorcycle collision attorney as soon as possible.
Motorcycle Helmet Laws
An individual needs to wear a helmet when riding a motorcycle in Cherry Hill. Whether or not that is going to bar them from making a recovery cannot be said, but the other side can argue that an individual’s injuries would have been less significant if they had their helmet on. An individual should wear a helmet to help prevent any serious or life-threatening motorcycle collision injuries and minimize any potential shared liability in a subsequent civil claim.
Other Safety Measures
When riding a motorcycle in Cherry Hill with or without a helmet, it is important to drive cautiously and be a defensive driver. A motorcyclist may be abiding by all the traffic laws properly, but all it takes is one other motorist to not be driving cautiously for a serious injury or even death to occur.
Furthermore, even though there are turn signals on motorcycles, sometimes they are difficult to see when a biker is making turns. Regardless, it may be a good idea for a motorcyclist to use their hands as turn signals so that people know when they are turning left and right and can better avoid causing an accident.
It is also advisable for a motorcyclist to carry certain information about their blood type and any medical conditions they have on their person. That way, if they are severely injured as a result of a motorcycle accident and become unable to speak or express these things to the EMTs, healthcare professionals who arrive at the scene will be able to find out what the individual’s blood type and medical conditions are.
Bikers should also install a small camera on their motorcycles so they will know what happened in an accident based on the footage it captures.
Impact of Helmets on Motorcycle Accident Injury Lawsuits in Cherry Hill
A common misconception is that if a motorcyclist is wearing a helmet, doing what they are supposed to be doing, and abiding by all the relevant traffic laws, they are going to be safe. That is not always the case. Anyone can get into an accident at any time due to another driver’s inattention. When a collision occurs because of another driver’s negligence, a motorcyclist is going to want to be wearing a helmet.
It is very important to understand that when you get on a motorcycle, you are putting yourself in danger, because other drivers may not always be abiding by the rules of the road. Any motorcyclist who is struck by a motor vehicle could be severely injured, so it is important to take every possible safety measure to prevent a collision, including wearing a helmet.

Testimonial from Paul D. -
My case settled recently after lasting 4 years. Grungo and Colarulo’s law firm were able to secure a large settlement award for my slip and fall accident. This money will help secure my future for the permanent injury I received as a result of the slip and fall. Everyone was very caring, and kept me informed throughout the entire process. Christine Lafferty is an excellent litigation lawyer. I highly recommend using them if you have been injured or in an accident. I hope I am never in a situation again to need their services, but I know who to go to if I, or any of my family members are ever injured. Thanks Grungo and Colarulo and staff for your compassionate service!

My wife and I reached out to Grungo Colarulo in 2020 for advise on a legal matter. After a meeting with the Attorney and Paralegal, we decided to go forward with a case. This case required a lot of documentation, and expert review of the documentation which was aquired. Throughout the process, we were kept up to date monthly, and Grungo Colarulo was always responsive to any questions that we had. The entire staff at Grungo Colarulo are very professional, caring, and willing to go the extra mile. This firm is a definite recommend!

Testimonial from Aminah M. -
A dear family friend referred us to a young attorney named Rich Grungo, Jr. We wanted answers and if necessary, justice for our father. From day one of a five-year journey, Mr. Rich Grungo, Jr. made our family and our pain his own. The man never stopped working for us. He kept us informed every step of the way. Questions were answered quickly and with great compassion and expertise. Even though Rich was always busy, he was never too busy for us. We always felt like we were his only clients
Testimonial from Mickey -
I had the opportunity to observe Mr. Grungo work in this case, both in the courtroom on the technical matters of the motions and also as his presentation to the jury in opening and presenting witnesses as well as utilizing animations… and drawings and films that were necessary for a proper understanding of the case…At all times during the presentation, Mr. Grungo operated mostly without notes and questioned the witnesses in a conversational manner which made it most effective. **

Hi Rich, Well I’m on my way up to college to finish packing my son’s stuff up and to go to his Graduation tomorrow. It’s hard to believe how fast and how slow, at the same time 5 years can go by.
