Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries

Motorcycle accidents often result in serious and life-changing injuries to the cyclist. Motorcycles offer efficient gas mileage and a unique way to get around, but motorcycles also offer limited protection in the event of an accident. Motorcycle drivers are vulnerable to ejection during an accident, which is highly likely to cause devastating injuries.

Common motorcycle accident injuries include:

• Traumatic brain injury
• Concussions
• Spinal cord injury
• Paralysis
• Neck injury
• Disfigurement
• Road rash
• Burns
• Fractures
• Lacerations
• Bruises

 Injuries resulting from a motorcycle accident are more likely to be serious and life-threatening. These injuries typically require expensive and ongoing medical treatment. In addition, your medical bills may be especially difficult to pay if you have to miss work as a result of your injury.

Tragically, many motorcycle accidents result in the driver's death. There were more than 3,500 motorcycle fatalities in the US in 2010. Although no amount of compensation can recover the life of a lost loved one, a wrongful death claim may recover the lost income and other expenses resulting from your loved one's death.
