May might by National Motorcycle Safety Awareness month, but riders will be on the road all summer long in New Jersey. Unfortunately, a pleasure ride can turn into a life-changing event if you are involved in a motorcycle accident.

In New Jersey, 62 people lost their lives in motorcycle accidents in 2014, an almost 9 percent increase from 2013's 57 fatalities.
