Many Factors Determine The Severity And Type Of Injury

Motorcycle accident injuries vary in type and severity depending on numerous circumstances surrounding a crash, such as the speed of the vehicles involved, angle of impact, point of impact, use of a helmet and safety gear, etc. Injuries range from relatively minor cuts, scrapes, lacerations, and broken bones all the way up to life-altering brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, paralysis, facial disfigurement and the need for reconstructive surgery, and the loss of limbs. Sadly, motorcycle accidents also cause thousands of deaths each year, sometimes preceded by a coma or vegetative state for the victim. Obviously, these can have incredibly damaging effects on the lives of victims and their families.

Riders Should Always Wear A Helmet And Proper Safety Gear

While motorcyclists carry inherent risks every time they hit the road, simply because of the nature of the activity, their unprotected exposure, the unpredictability of other drivers, perilous road conditions, and other factors, there are many safety measures that motorcyclists should routinely practice to reduce these risks as much as possible. Helmets greatly reduce the risk of suffering a traumatic brain injury following an accident and increase your odds of survival, in general. Brain injuries carry a plethora of complications, including nerve damage, cognitive impairment, personality alterations, and the inability to lead a normal life without significant care from others. Further, wearing the correct clothing, such as reflective, strong materials, can reduce the risk of injuries to other parts of your body.

Swift Treatment Is Essential

Following a motorcycle accident, even if you believe you may not be severely injured, immediate treatment and assessment of your condition is imperative in maximizing your chances of survival and recovery.

Far-Reaching Effects In Many Areas Of Life

Obviously, victims of motorcycle accidents endure an unimaginable amount of physical pain and suffering. Family members of victims, however, are frequently forced to bear cognitive declines and personality alterations of the victims, completely changing their daily roles and responsibilities. The victim may not be able to return to their jobs and perhaps may be precluded from working in general, creating a financial strain on the rest of their family.
