St. Louis Motorcycle Safety Tips
If you’re getting ready to head out on your bike, you should remember a few crucial safety tips. Although these actions can’t prevent every accident, they can help you avoid the most severe consequences.
Wear a Helmet
In Missouri, motorcycle riders aged 26 and over are not required to wear a helmet as long as they have appropriate insurance to cover medical expenses if they’re in a crash. However, anyone under that age, including passengers, must wear a helmet.
Even if you are exempt, you should still wear headgear. Doing so can protect you from suffering severe brain injuries if you’re in an accident. Be sure the helmet meets all the requirements and that you also have eye protection.
Check Your Motorcycle Before Each Ride
Before you get on the road, assess your motorcycle to ensure it’s working as needed. Check tire pressure, lights, and brakes. If you notice anything is off, you may want to wait to have the vehicle professionally inspected before using it. You should also have it inspected regularly by a mechanic.
Make Yourself Visible
When riding a motorcycle, keep in mind that it’s less visible to other drivers than a larger vehicle would be. You may easily fall into blind spots, and the color of the bike or what you’re wearing could blend with the background. You can help prevent being hit by wearing bright and reflective clothing at all hours of the day.
Ensure your lights are on and flash your brake lights when slowing down. If you’re unsure whether a driver has seen you, try to make eye contact with them.
Don’t Split Lanes
Lane splitting refers to riding between two lanes of traffic that have come to a stop or have slowed. Although lane splitting isn’t forbidden in Missouri, it’s also not explicitly allowed. It’s a potentially dangerous maneuver that can increase your chances of being in a crash. There could be visibility issues because other drivers won’t expect to see you next to them.
Ride Defensively
When riding a motorcycle, you must be aware of what everyone else is doing. Try to predict what other drivers will do and scan the road ahead. Don’t allow yourself to get distracted, and always maintain a safe following distance.

Why This Firm Exists
James Eason didn't build this firm to be the biggest. He built it to be the kind of firm an injured person actually needs. We are small enough to stay personally involved, prepared enough to walk into court, and selective enough to take cases seriously. The model most personal injury firms run on is volume: take everything, settle most of it quickly, and then move on to the next injured client. That works for the firm, but it doesn't always work for the client. The lawyers who genuinely prepare every case for trial are the ones who get the best results, because the insurance carriers know the difference. That's our model here.
Steps to Proceed
Our Proven Process
We'll listen to what happened, ask the questions that matter, and tell you honestly whether we think the case is worth pursuing. If we don't, we'll say so.
Investigation
If we take the case, we get to work, investigating the police reports, medical records, and witness statements, preserving the evidence and working with experts as needed.
We build a documented claim and present it to the insurance carrier. Most cases settle here. If yours doesn’t, we keep going.
Litigation Preparation
If the offer isn't fair, we litigate. Because we've prepared the case for trial from the beginning, we're ready when it gets there.
Settlement, mediation, or verdict — we pursue whichever outcome reflects what your case is actually worth.
