Naval Station Norfolk Hosts Fourth Annual Motorcycle Safety Event

Sailers at the Norfolk Naval Station received free motorcycle safety training this month since more and more sailers are riding motorcycles, according to the WTKR news source.  Naval Station Norfolk knows that a shortage of parking spaces and high gas prices have led to more sailers purchasing motorcycles, and this is the fourth year the station has hosted a free motorcycle safety course in an effort to protect its sailers on the roadway.  With safety as a top priority to the Navy, the course not only included tips for bike riding, but also how to look out for others on the roadway while on a motorcycle.  According to WTKR, the efforts of the Norfolk Naval Station and other motorcycle safety prevention groups are working:  between 2008 and 2009, fatalities from motorcycle accidents were reduced in the Navy by 60 percent.  In the state, fatalities from Virginia motorcycle accidents have declined for the past three years.

Although the number of Hampton Roads and Norfolk motorcycle accidents have declined, Virginia auto accident lawyer Lawrence Land believes that one serious motorcycle crash is one too many, and he commits a significant part of his practice to helping motorcycle accident victims recover financial compensation for injuries so they can focus their efforts on getting better.  For more information and helpful resources on motorcycle accidents, injuries, and how to receive the best medical care and help paying for medical bills, contact Lawrence Land, and he will answer your questions for free.  Call Lawrence Land toll-free at 800-800-1911.
