Types of Injuries From a Motorcycle Collision
A motorcycle rider can suffer many types of injuries in an accident. These may include:
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI): these injuries can prompt a host of other potentially lasting and life-altering effects.
- Fractured and broken bones: the collarbone, ribs, legs, arms, skull can all be vulnerable in a motorcycle accident.
- Muscle damage: this injury category can include sprains, strains, tears, and ruptures of tissue and ligaments.
- Spinal cord injuries: this injury can cause numbness below the site of the injury or possibly result in complete paralysis of parts of the body.
- Road rash: when a motorcycle rider slides after an accident, the resulting skin injuries could possibly lead to infections and nerve damage.
These injuries can cause extreme pain and generate hefty medical expenses, time away from work, and a diminished quality of life. If another party’s negligence caused you to suffer such injuries, that individual may be liable to pay for your injuries.
Fatal Motorcycle Accidents
In the worst-case scenario, some riders do not survive their motorcycle accident injuries. If your loved one died in an accident caused by another party’s negligence, you may be facing significant expenses related to their death. A wrongful death lawsuit against the at-fault party may spare you from bearing these costs.
