Unfortunately, motorcycle accidents occur all too often around the country each year. Riding a motorcycle poses serious risks, as they lack the physical protection cars offer. Motorcyclists are more susceptible to serious injury posed by other drivers, defective roadway design, harsh weather conditions, and defective motorcycle products.

What’s the problem?
Crashes with motorcycles are not rare events - particularly among some beginning riders. Injuries received as a result of motorcycle accidents are often among the most severe types of injuries we deal with. As a biker, there is not much protection between you and the road, and highway pavement can be extremely unforgiving. Add that to the fact that many motorists tend not to see motorcycles and fail to give motorbikes the proper respect on the road, and you have a recipe for disaster.
Types of Motorcycle Accident Injuries
Common injuries to bikers include:
- Back injuries - including slipped discs, sacroiliac joint dysfunction, and facet syndrome
- Head injuries - can include surface facial injuries to the head and fractured skulls. These are very common, even if the motorcyclist is wearing a helmet.
- Traumatic brain injuries - may cause permanent physical and mental disability, even if the skull remains intact
- Spinal cord injuries - including paraplegia, quadriplegia, and spinal cord contusions and compressions
- Neck injuries - including herniated cervical discs, fractures, and pinched nerves
- Broken or crushed bones - such as broken arms, legs, collarbones, knees, ankles, and feet
