Injuries in Motorcycle Accidents
There are several factors working against motorcyclists when they are involved in accidents: There is no vehicle to protect their bodies. Given the size difference between motorcycles and cars, it is usually the biker who is injured worst. Finally, because of the small size of the motorcycle, many drivers do not see bikers until it is too late to prevent the accident from happening.
With so many factors working against bikers, there are rarely minor injuries in motorcycle accidents. Flesh does not provide enough protection against metal or pavement, so injuries often include:
- Head injuries, including closed head injuries
- Disfigurement
- Scarring from road rash
- Paralysis
- Death
