What If You Didn’t Have A Helmet On At The Time Of The Accident

Helmets have long been known to reduce injury or death in motorcycle accidents. Because of this, most States require riders to wear one. Although wearing a helmet doesn’t prevent an accident, it may reduce or mitigate a victim’s injuries. You may recover damages for injuries even if you did not have a helmet on at the time of the accident; however, the damage amount may be affected.
