Surprising Study Results on Motorcycle Accident Head Injury Survival With and Without Helmets

July 2, 2012

Orlando personal injury attorney James O. Cunningham believes that riders should take full advantage of any and all protective equipment when riding their motorcycles but was very surprised to read a recent study regarding their effectiveness. Recently, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) published the results of their study and surprisingly found that helmets only give riders a slight advantage in surviving head injuries suffered in a motorcycle accident.

The fines would be in addition to the previously announced $16.4 million penalty announced by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recently.
