What if I was not wearing a motorcycle helmet at the time of the crash?


Not wearing a helmet during a motorcycle crash could potentially affect your injury claim. In the state of Missouri, all riders and passengers under the age of 26 must wear a motorcycle helmet (RSMo § 302.026). People 26 and older can ride without a helmet if they have proof of financial responsibility and have medical coverage.

The cause of the motorcycle wreck and the details of your case are still important. No matter what happened during the collision, speak with our motorcycle crash lawyers as soon as possible.
