Drunk Driving Motorcycle Accidents
Did a Drunk Driver Cause Your Motorcycle Accident?
Those who drive under the influence of alcohol put all motorists at risk. In fact, drunk driving accounts for nearly 1 death almost ever 51 minutes in the United States.
Even more troubling is that motorcyclists are at an increased risk of severe injury and death due to the open nature of their bikes. In the blink of an eye, another driver's decision to drink and drive can cost someone their life.

Drunk Driving Motorcycle Accidents
When impaired drivers take to the roads, they're not just endangering themselves, but everyone else in their path. Often, motorcyclists must fight for their fair share of the road – even without worrying about drunk motorists.
In some cases, a motorcycle passenger may not be aware that their driver has been drinking. This could lead to a terrifying situation that may result in a crash with serious injuries. If you were the passenger in a motorcycle accident, find more information here.
Statute of Limitations
Drunk driving accidents are often severe or even fatal, leaving an aftermath of confusion and devastation. Unfortunately, time is not on the victim's side. There are certain time limits on injury claims known as statutes of limitation.
Statutes of limitations restrict the time period that a person can file a lawsuit.
A personal injury action must be filed within two years of the date when the injury occurred.
However, there is a "discovery rule," which, in limited cases, extends the time for filing a personal injury action.
