Delaware Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

The Delaware Department of Transportation and AAA released a statement concerning a large number of motorcycle fatalities in the state. In May, 2019, there were 6 motorcycle fatalities in Delaware, and all of them were linked to excessive speed. Each one of these crashes took the life of a biker, each under the age of 42. Sadly, these crashes were largely preventable, had the bikers or motorists only behaved differently.

As bikers ourselves, we know the thrill of riding the open road. Speed can be intoxicating, and can enhance the feeling of power. But speed kills. Time and time again, motorcycle fatalities are linked to speeding. None of these six bikers would have chosen to speed had they known they would lose their life as a result. And none of the motorists involved in these crashes would have been speeding had they known their behavior would take a life. Regardless of which vehicle is speeding, the motorcyclist will always be the one to lose as they have no protection and are vulnerable when a crash occurs. This is why we encourage all motorists and bikers to ride with care: it is your life on the line.

Delaware Motorcycle Law

Requirements for legally riding a motorcycle vary from state to state. The Kass & Moses team can confidently answer your questions about the specifics of Delaware’s motorcycle laws. Below are a few rules of the road that every local rider should keep in mind:

• Delaware motorcycle helmet laws are a bit confusing. All riders under the age of 19 must wear a helmet and approved eye protection. But all riders, no matter what their age, must have an approved helmet and eye protection with them at all times when riding.
• Although lane splitting is not specifically prohibited, it is best to avoid it. Since it is not mentioned it current law, it represents a gray area and should be avoided.
