Why Motorcycle Accidents Are So Dangerous
Motorcyclists lack the protection of a car, leaving them exposed to direct impact in a collision. Even at low speeds, a motorcycle crash can result in life-threatening injuries. Common causes of motorcycle accidents include:
- Drivers failing to yield the right of way
- Distracted or inattentive drivers
- Speeding or reckless driving
- Drunk or impaired driving
- Hazardous road conditions and debris
- Lane splitting and unsafe lane changes
Common Injuries in Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accidents frequently result in serious or permanent injuries. Common injuries include:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and concussions
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Broken bones and fractures
- Road rash and severe abrasions
- Internal organ damage
- Severe burns and lacerations
Even with a helmet and protective gear, riders are at risk of catastrophic injuries. Immediate medical treatment is critical, both for your health and for strengthening your legal case.
