Novice operators are particularly vulnerable to motorcycle crashes. However, there are other factors apart from lack of experience. Whether it’s drivers of other vehicles failing to notice them in blind spots or adverse weather conditions, motorcycle wrecks can occur on a daily basis. Even seasoned motorcycle riders can be involved in motorcycle collisions that lead to injuries.
Motorcycle accidents can cause a range of injuries, from minor to severe and life-changing. However, road rash is likely the most prevalent motorcycle injury. Road rash occurs when motorcycle riders are thrown off their bikes and skid across the road surface. Road rash is a serious injury because scraping against the road could result in multiple layers of your skin peeling away, exposing the muscle beneath.
Other typical injuries in motorcycle accidents include head and neck injuries, leg injuries, and arm injuries.
If the injuries result in the death of the motorcycle rider, the surviving family members can file a wrongful death claim.
