Motorcycle Accidents
Being involved in a motorcycle accident can often leave you with severe or life-changing injuries through no fault of your own. Without the added protection a car or standard vehicle provides, a motorcyclist is left especially vulnerable and prone to injury.
If another driver or person’s negligence led to your motorcycle accident, you could be entitled to financial compensation. Medical bills, hospital stays, loss of wages, and motorcycle repair can be costly for the victim, not to mention the pain and suffering a motorcycle injury can cause.

CAUSES OF MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS
Motorcycle accidents can be caused by a number of factors, but most often it is the negligence of another driver. When the driver of another vehicle does not pay attention or keep watch for motorcycles, they may change lanes unexpectedly or crash into a motorcyclist. Unfortunately, the limited protection of a motorcycle can leave the victim paying the price in such an accident.
Motorcycle accidents can also occur from other causes not involving a second driver. Motorcycle injuries can result from driving on hazardous roadways or debris. A motorcycle injury could even be traced back to a defective product or mechanical issue with the bike itself.
Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries
If you or a loved one has been involved in a motorcycle accident, it is extremely important that you seek medical attention as soon as possible, no matter how minor your injuries may appear. It is possible that injuries may appear minimal at the time of the accident but may become more serious as time passes. Medical professionals will likely be able to catch things that otherwise may be missed by the untrained eye.
Common injuries sustained in motorcycle accidents include:
- Road rash
- Broken bones
- Fractures
- Concussions
- Head injuries
- Brain injuries
- Neck injuries
