6. Ben Roethlisberger
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger could have died in his motorcycle accident near Pittsburgh. He was riding a bike without a valid license, and he only had a learner’s permit with him, on top of that, he wasn’t wearing a helmet.
Sam Cannon, a leading motorcycle accident attorney said: “Every person on a motorbike should wear protective gear such as a helmet, leathers, gloves, etc. Good quality gear can save lives. Also, injuries suffered in motorcycle accidents tend to be serious, so riders should protect themselves by making sure they have robust insurance coverage, including underinsured benefits with good limits. That way, even if you suffer serious injuries, you will be able to receive the compensation needed to help you recover.”
