Motorcycle riders are exposed to far greater risk than drivers in enclosed vehicles. Even when wearing proper gear, they lack the protection of seatbelts, airbags, and vehicle frames, leaving them vulnerable to catastrophic harm.
Some of the most common injuries we see in motorcycle accident cases include:
- Head and Brain Injuries: From concussions to traumatic brain injuries (TBI), head trauma is the leading cause of death and long-term disability among motorcyclists.
- Spinal Cord Injuries and Paralysis: A violent impact can damage the spinal cord, leading to partial or complete paralysis.
- Broken Bones and Fractures: Collisions often cause shattered legs, arms, and ribs that require surgery and extensive rehabilitation.
- Road Rash and Soft Tissue Injuries: When a rider slides across asphalt, friction can remove multiple layers of skin, leading to infection or permanent scarring.
- Internal Organ Damage: Blunt-force trauma can cause life-threatening internal bleeding or organ failure.
Many of these injuries demand lifelong care, extensive physical therapy, and emotional recovery. Our firm works closely with medical specialists to calculate not only your current losses but also the future costs of treatment, adaptive equipment, and reduced earning potential.
