Motorcycle Accidents

Since 1994, Associates & Bruce L. Scheiner, Personal Injury Lawyers, P.A. has sponsored its own Motorcycle Awareness Program to promote safety and respect for motorcyclists in Southwest Florida.

The firm distributes free literature on motorcycle safety to interested bikers. The free "safety packets" include a listing of motorcycle safety courses, a brochure on safe riding, and a "biker-sized" road atlas small enough to fit in a pocket or saddle bag.

Associates & Bruce L. Scheiner designed the program to reduce the number of accidents and injuries associated with motorcycling, but most of all, to save lives by encouraging bikers to participate in rider education programs, wear the proper apparel, and operate their vehicles safely and defensively.

The firm's theme, "Whatever You Ride, Ride Safe", has appeared on more than 30 billboards in 5 counties in Southwest Florida. The purpose of the theme is to remind motorcycle enthusiasts of all ages to ride safely, whether they operate classic custom cycles or high performance sports models.

Because of their small size and fast acceleration rate, motorcycles are often not seen in time by drivers of larger vehicles. This puts the motorcycle rider at risk. More than 30% of motor vehicle/motorcycle collisions occur at intersections because the driver did not see the motorcyclist in time. Learning how to be seen is one of the most important skills motorcycle riders need to have.
Enrolling in a safety course is an excellent way for both the beginner and the experienced rider to learn defensive riding skills. Some of the best safety courses are taught by instructors who are trained and certified by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation. The MSF is an internationally-recognized organization devoted to improving the safety of motorcycle riders.

MSF certified courses are available in Southwest Florida. To receive a free listing of safety courses, motorcycle safety packet and pocket atlas, call Associates & Bruce L. Scheiner, Personal Injury Lawyers, P.A., at 1-800-283-2900.
