Legal Help When You Need It Most
Motorcycle accidents can have devastating consequences. Unlike drivers in enclosed vehicles, motorcyclists are exposed to far greater risks on the road, often suffering serious or life-threatening injuries even in seemingly minor collisions. If you or a loved one has been injured in a motorcycle accident, it’s essential to understand your rights and the legal options available to you.
Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries
Motorcycle accidents frequently result in severe injuries due to the lack of protective barriers.
Some of the most common injuries include:
-
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): Even with a helmet, riders can suffer concussions or more serious brain trauma, potentially leading to long-term cognitive or physical impairment.
-
Spinal Cord Injuries: Damage to the spine can cause partial or complete paralysis and may require lifelong medical care.
-
Fractures and Broken Bones: Arms, legs, ribs, and collarbones are especially vulnerable during an accident.
-
Road Rash: When a rider slides along the pavement, it can cause severe skin abrasions, sometimes requiring skin grafts or leading to permanent scarring.
-
Internal Injuries: Blunt-force trauma can damage internal organs, often without immediate symptoms.
Your Legal Rights After a Motorcycle Accident
Motorcyclists are often wrongly blamed for accidents, even when they are not at fault. An experienced personal injury attorney can investigate the circumstances of the crash, gather evidence, and advocate for the compensation you deserve.
This may include:
- Medical expenses (past and future)
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
- Rehabilitation costs
