Questions
What People Ask Us About Motorcycle Accidents
General information, not legal advice.
- Is it legal to ride without a helmet in Missouri?
- Since August 2020, riders 26 and older who carry qualifying health insurance may ride without a helmet (RSMo 302.026). Riders under 26 and permit holders must wear one. Illinois has no adult helmet requirement. Riding helmetless is not negligence by itself, but expect the insurer to raise it in any claim involving a head injury.
- Can the insurance company blame me for not wearing a helmet?
- It will try. Under Missouri’s pure comparative fault rule a jury can assign a percentage of fault to the rider, but helmet use is only relevant to head and facial injuries, the insurer must prove a helmet would have changed the outcome, and helmet choice has nothing to do with who caused the crash. We hold insurers to each of those limits.
- The driver says they never saw me. Does that matter?
- It is the most common statement in motorcycle cases and it is not a defense. A driver turning left or changing lanes has a duty to look. We use skid marks, crush damage, the car’s event data recorder, signal timing and camera footage to show the motorcycle was visible and the driver did not look.
- What compensation can an injured rider recover?
- Medical expenses and future care, lost income and reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, and the loss of a normal life. Motorcycle injuries are often catastrophic, so your own uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage, which Missouri requires on every auto policy (RSMo 379.203), is frequently the most important policy in the case.
