Although

months, the calendar still indicates that the summer season is upon us. In the coming weeks, traffic surrounding the
Milwaukee area will increase substantially as the weather continues to grow
warmer and festivities begin to transpire in Southeastern Wisconsin. Wisconsinites are encouraged to enjoy all
such activity, but be aware that such dense unification can also increase the
probability of Motorcycle Accident Milwaukee accidents.
In
2010, during the months of June, July, and August, Wisconsin tallied over
11,500 injury causing accidents, constituting the most in a three month span
during that year. Furthermore, nearly 20% of all 2010 accidents in Wisconsin
occurred within Milwaukee County. These statistics provide a clear indication
that those travelling throughout the Milwaukee area this summer should do so
with heightened caution.
Aside
from an increase in traffic, the influx in accidents may be attributed to a
number of other factors. First, many young adults enjoy significant time off
during summer months. Their inexperience

automobile accidents. As a result,
individuals below the age of 25 are involved in nearly 25% of all automobile
