Depending on the laws in your state, your decision not to wear a helmet may impact your ability to recover compensation after a motorcycle accident. An experienced attorney can help you understand your legal options. In California, it is illegal to ride a motorcycle without a helmet. If you are involved in a motorcycle accident and were not wearing a helmet, you may still be able to recover compensation for your injuries. However, the other party may argue that your decision to not wear a helmet was a contributing factor to your injuries, and this could reduce the amount of compensation you are able to recover. The experienced motorcycle accident attorneys at Tim Wright Law Firm can help you understand your legal options and determine the best course of action for your case.
