Study released on hospital costs for motorcycle crashes
A new study by the Minnesota Brain Injury Alliance documents who is paying the emergency room and hospital costs for motorcycle crashes in Minnesota. It shows that the costs related to traumatic brain injury (TBI) and the decision to ride without a helmet is not solely born by the motorcyclist. The study builds support for legislative efforts toward a change in state law, introduced in a bill earlier this year, to increase rider personal responsibility and insurance coverage for those who choose to exercise their right to ride without a helmet.
