Safety Gear Defects

Posted on June 16, 2020 at 3:17 PM by The Biker Lawyers

When riding a motorcycle, it is important to exercise appropriate caution because of the greater risks of injury that these vehicles carry. This caution includes following posted warning signs, driving safely, and wearing appropriate safety gear. In the event of an accident, safety gear can mean the difference between a permanent, life-altering injury and emerging relatively unscathed.

Most motorcyclists rely heavily on their safety gear to protect them. Unfortunately, the trust that cyclists place in their gear can be misplaced, as it is all too common for poorly designed or manufactured safety gear to break down or fail in the event of an actual accident. When this occurs, the consequences it can have for riders can be devastating.

Common Types of Safety Gear Defects

There are a number of different ways in which safety gear defects can place motorcyclists’ health and even lives at risk. The following are among the most common of these defects:

  • Helmet defects
  • Visor defects
  • Boot defects

These and other safety gear defects can result in serious physical damage, costly medical bills, lost income, and many other consequences that motorcycle riders should not have to face on their own.
