Motorcycle helmet laws are controversial. Some states require motorcycle helmets of riders, while others do not. Some states require that young people (under 21 or some other age) wear helmets when operating a motorcycle.
- Proponents of motorcycle helmet laws say that helmets save lives and prevent brain injuries.
- Opponents of motorcycle helmet laws claim that such laws are unconstitutional and rob citizens of their freedom of choice. Some people go so far as to say that helmets themselves sometimes cause or exacerbate neck injuries.
- And some people suggest that the U.S. should adopt softer motorcycle helmets, similar to European ones.
Whatever the arguments are for or against motorcycle helmet laws, the questions may sound quite academic to you after you have suffered a head injury. At the forefront of your mind and your family's thinking is the need to pursue and obtain compensation after your motorcycle accident. Sufficient compensation should cover the following:
- Medical bills
- Lost wage replacement
- Disability accommodations upon release

Your selection of an attorney may have a great impact on the compensation you receive — and your ultimate long-term interests.
