Results of motorcycle crash study may prove valuable to riders

Researchers may be working on the other side of the globe, but personal injury lawyers in Albuquerque are looking forward to finding out the results of a study examining the causes of motorcycle accidents.

The study conducted at Monash University in Australia will analyze the experience of motorcycle riders who steered their bikes through a certain location. Researchers will study the experience of those who were in motorcycle accidents and those who successfully traveled through a potentially dangerous part of the roadway.

The researchers plan to recruit 1,100 riders over the next 18 months. They hope to release their findings by the end of 2013.
