Motorcycle collisions cause a wide variety of injuries. Some relatively lucky riders escape with very little if any injuries; perhaps damage was done to their bike. Other injuries are extremely serious; and personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits are pursued by a motorcycle accident lawyer. Across the United States in 2009, more than 84,000 riders sustained significant injuries in traffic collisions, and 4,595 fatalities for motorcyclists were reported. These numbers ebb and flow throughout the years. Helmet laws will often affect these numbers. In states where helmets are optional, there tend to be a larger percentage of deaths. But in states that ensure helmets are properly used and fitted, fatalities decrease.
There are several kinds of injuries resulting from these kinds of collisions. Some are universal to traffic accidents, while others are unique to riders of Harleys, Hondas, Vespas, mopeds and more.
Road rash This is a colloquial term that aptly describes bodily harm involving skin and flesh wounds as well as broken bones. Road rash may be the result of a new injury, or an aggravation upon an old wound. Ideally, riders never hit the pavement, but this injury is common for those who do fall.
Head trauma The human brain is the most complex single unit of matter known to scientists in the universe. When you consider the complexity of the brain, and juxtapose it next to a motorbike accident potentially involving very high speeds, major mental problems or even death may result from head trauma. Helmets, while optional in some states with considerable insurance coverage, are always recommended by officials.
Paralysis Once again, being thrown off ones bike at very high speeds can have a variety of consequences, including paralysis. This is an injury that will demand lifelong medical attention, and if the negligence of the other driver can be proven then all medical expenses will be a factor for compensation.
When searching for a motorcycle accident legal firm, check them out. You will want to know that they are in good standing with their state bar association, and that they are licensed to practice. Those in search of the best choice in a lawyer will want to consider experience; years practiced; and further qualifications distinguishing their career. For example, a lawyer can be certified in their field of law. A specialist in civil law has demonstrated expertise in personal injury liability cases such as motorcycle injury.
