A recent article in the Detroit, Michigan news could have interesting ramifications for New Hampshire motorcycle accidents. The article cites a recent study showing fewer traffic crashes in 2008 than in prior years, citing the poor economy as a factor in fewer crashes. Unemployment and worries about fuel costs means that fewer drivers are on the road, which could partially explain the drop in crashes.
However, the interesting part of the article comes near the end, when the author states that motorcycle crashes rose slightly due to drivers choosing this mode of transportation in order to save fuel and defer the costs of vehicle ownership. If motorcycle accidents are truly on the rise, more and more individuals will be seeking the advice of experienced personal injury attorneys in New Hampshire as they struggle to deal with the physical, emotional, and financial consequences of motorcycle accidents.

The Concord Monitor recently ran an article about a man who suffered life altering injuries while volunteering at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway. The male volunteer of Wilder, Vermont was volunteering at the racetrack in July of 2006 when he was thrown from the back of a golf cart being driven by a track employee, who swerved while driving too quickly on the track. The man proceeded to fall from the back of the golf cart and hit his head on the pavement.
The injured volunteer was rushed to Concord Hospital where he underwent brain surgery to curb the effects of the head trauma that he sustained as a result of the fall. Though the surgery helped repair the damage, the man is still disabled as a result of the NH brain injury, unable to take care of himself for extended periods of time.
The man injured in this incident had been working as a volunteer during the NASCAR event in exchange for a donation that was going to be made to the charity of his choice, in this case, Fishin’ for Kids, a nonprofit organization that raises money for children’s charities.
He is currently suing the racetrack and others for damages resulting from their negligence and is seeking damages for medical bills, loss of income, and a debilitated way of life. The injured man initially attempted to file a workers’ compensation claim against the New Hampshire Motor Speedway, but the New Hampshire Supreme Court declared that he was not eligible for compensation because he was not a paid employee of the speedway.
Regardless of whether or not the man was a paid employee, one would think that the speedway would have provided a safe working environment and/or stipulations that could have prevented injury from befalling its volunteers.

New Hampshire’s WMUR Channel 9 recently reported in a story that a male jogger was seriously injured when two cars traveling in opposite directions collided with each other. A white car traveling southbound crossed into oncoming traffic, striking a black pickup that was traveling northbound. The collision caused the black pickup truck to spin out of control, and right into the path of the male jogger.
Though the jogger’s injuries were deemed serious, he was breathing at the scene of the pedestrian accident in New Hampshire. Police initially requested that the victim be airlifted from the scene, to allow for quicker medical care, but poor weather conditions prevented this. Instead, the victim was taken by ambulance to Lawrence General Hospital. No further information is available regarding the jogger’s condition.
Police speculate that the jogger, whose name has not yet been made public, was struck by the rear of the bed of the truck. A spare tire that was in the truck bed fell off of the truck bed and landed on the jogger. More specific details about the accident, in particular vehicular negligence and what exactly caused the white car to veer into oncoming traffic were not discussed.
