Omaha Motorcycle Accidents: What Riders Need to Know

Motorcycle accidents are a significant concern in Omaha, with recent statistics highlighting the growing risks faced by riders on the road. According to the Nebraska Department of Transportation, there were over 900 motorcycle crashes reported in the state in 2023, resulting in numerous injuries and fatalities. These incidents often occur at intersections, where visibility is limited and drivers may not be fully aware of their surroundings. 

The consequences of such accidents can be devastating, leading to severe injuries such as traumatic brain injuries, fractures, and road rash, which can require extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation. As awareness of motorcycle safety increases, local organizations are working to educate both riders and drivers on safe practices. Initiatives include training courses for motorcyclists, campaigns to promote helmet use, and programs aimed at improving driver awareness of motorcycles on the road. 

If you’re involved in a motorcycle accident, first ensure your safety and the safety of others. Call 911 to report the accident and seek medical attention for any injuries. Gather information from the other party involved, including names, contact information, and insurance details. Document the scene with photos and notes about the accident. It’s crucial to consult with a personal injury attorney to understand your rights and options for compensation. 

To prove liability, you’ll need to demonstrate that the other party was negligent. This can involve collecting evidence such as police reports, witness statements, and photographs of the scene. Additionally, medical records can help establish the extent of your injuries and link them to the accident. An experienced personal injury attorney can help gather this evidence and build a strong case on your behalf.
