Can the Lack of an Anti-Brake System Cause an Accident?

San Diego Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Over 30 years ago, the anti-lock brake system was introduced on the market for all motorcycles that were intended for the roadway. This anti-lock braking system has many benefits for motorcycle riders, especially because it was designed to help riders stop and slow down in emergency situations, despite the weather conditions. The anti-lock brake system, or ABS, has been so successful over the years that a study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety determined that these motorcycles equipped with the system were about 37% less likely to be involved in an accident that resulted in wrongful death. The study also proved that this type of safety system leads to 22% fewer claims for property damage and 30% fewer motorcycle injury claims.

While many people suggest that the ABS should be installed on all new models to ensure the safety of the riders, this is not the case; many motorcycles today are not equipped with the safety system that has proven to save many lives. Although there are many obvious benefits that the anti-brake system brings to the motorcycle community, manufacturers and retailers are denying that this system should be placed on all bikes. If you or someone you love has been injured in an accident in which you were riding a motorcycle without an ABS, do not hesitate to call a San Diego motorcycle accident attorney from Ardalan & Associates.
