Common Injuries Following Motorcycle Accidents
Tuesday, July 20th, 2010
Most motorcycle riders who are seriously injured and killed following an accident are thrown from their bike. Without a seatbelt or other restraints, the rider and any passengers with them will be ejected onto or near the road.
It is estimated that 75% of all motorcycle accidents involve another vehicle. A quarter of them involve single bike accidents where there is a chance the rider will fall, then slide, roll, or bounce down the road. Either way, the resulting injuries can be very severe. Blunt force trauma and abrasion injuries are very common.
Some of the most common injuries following a motorcycle accident include:
- Broken bones, especially broken legs
- Spinal cord injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Road rash
It is important to wear a helmet when riding a motorcycle. Traumatic brain injuries will often be very severe or fatal in motorcycle accidents. Even if you are riding your motorcycle in a state that does not enforce helmet laws, please wear a helmet.
It can take months to heal from injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident. Broken bones are more than just simple fractures most of the time. Healing often involves months of physical therapy and recuperation. You may be unable to work to pay bills that continue to role in if you are laid up for months.
