Motorcycle Accidents

Because motorcycles themselves provide virtually no protection in a crash, motor cycle accidents have a much higher rate of serious injuries or fatalities when compared with automobiles.

Injuries from motorcycle accidents can occur in various ways:

• Collisions with roadside fixtures such as lampposts, poles, signs and fences, which can often result from poor road design and engineering
• Concussion and brain damage, the risk of which can be substantially reduced through the use of a standards-approved headgear
• Broken or fractured bones and joints, including shoulder, pelvis, elbows, hips, knees and wrists
• “Biker’s arm”, in which the nerves in the upper arm are damaged, resulting in permanent paralysis
• Facial disfigurement and damage to skin and muscle tissue (“road rash”)

One of the leading causes of motorcycle accidents is the failure of other motorists to see or observe motorcycles in traffic, because motorcycles can be less conspicuous, or more difficult to see, than other types of vehicles. “I didn’t see him,” is an excuse heard all too often following a motorcycle crash.
