Jacksonville Dirt Bike Accident Attorneys

Injuries and fatalities due to dirt bike crashes are seemingly vastly under-represented in data compiled by groups like the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration because most recreational dirt biking happens off-road. However, just because the problem of dirt bike accidents has not been widely published doesn’t make it any less serious.

Dirt bikes can be particularly dangerous for a number of reasons:

• Dirt bike riders are more likely to be young and reckless; such drivers statistically are more likely to get into injury crashes than older, safer motorists.
• “Dirt bike culture” often encourages reckless and aggressive driving and stunts.
• Many dirt bike operators don’t understand how to perform proper maintenance or safety checks on their vehicles.
• Dirt bike accidents can occur far from main roads, away from where ambulances and help can get easy access to the accident site. As a result, medical help for injured dirt bike riders can be delayed.
• Off-road bikers typically encounter more and more diverse hazards than typical, “surface-street” riders do.
• Dirt bike riders can have a difficult time integrating with “non-dirt bike” traffic.
• Anecdotal evidence suggests that drug and alcohol abuse is relatively common among casual dirt bike riders.
