Types of Motorcycle Accident Injuries

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that nearly 80% of all motorcycle accidents result in serious injuries and fatalities.  While there are numerous things motorcyclists can do to reduce their chances of sustaining an injury such as wearing a helmet, wearing protective gear and driving cautiously, they still can be severely injured after being involved in a devastating accident. 

Motorcyclists have a greater chance of sustaining an injury during an accident than other motor vehicle drivers for two reasons:  they have no form of external protection and the motor vehicles they crash into are much larger and heavier. 

When a motorcyclist is involved in an accident, he/she can sustain numerous different types of debilitating injuries, including:

• Head injury
• Neck injury
• Spinal cord injury
• Brain injury or traumatic brain injury
• Burn injury
• Amputation
• Broken bones
• Internal bleeding
• Internal injury

All of the aforementioned injuries demand a great deal of medical treatment and time to heal.  This means that injured motorcyclists are likely to experience financial burdens from medical bills, lost income from days they miss work and even a lost quality of life if their injuries are severe enough.
