If you weren’t wearing a motorcycle helmet during your crash, you still have a case. But here’s what you need to know. Virginia requires all motorcyclists to wear a helmet if they’re out on the roadways operating a motorcycle. Now, not wearing a helmet and breaking that law does not in it of itself bar a motorcyclist who’s been injured from recovering. You can still pursue a claim if you’ve been injured when not wearing a helmet. But rest assured, the insurance company and their lawyers are going to be arguing that any injuries that that motorcyclist suffered were made more severe because they weren’t wearing a helmet. So, while you can still pursue a claim, failing to follow the law and wearing a helmet can limit what you can recover in a motorcycle crash case.
