Types of Motorcycle Injuries

Michigan Lawyer for Motorcycle Accidents

For a motorcyclist, a traffic accident may be an extremely serious event that will lead to catastrophic injuries or even death. According to NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) statistics from 2007, motorcyclists were 9 times more likely to be injured in traffic collisions than occupants of passenger cars. Even the best helmet and proper protective gear can only provide so much protection in the event of a motorcycle accident.

About Motorcycle Accident Injuries

As we already discussed, a biker is far more likely to sustain injury in a traffic accident than the occupant of another motor vehicle. The types of injuries that may be sustained in a motorcycle accident include:

• Spinal cord injuries
• Paralysis, paraplegia or quadriplegia
• Head trauma
• Brain damage
• Facial injuries
• Burns
• "Road rash" from contact with the pavement
• Dismemberment or amputation
• Damage to internal organs
• Internal bleeding
• Severe lacerations and contusions

A rider may sustain one or many of these types of injuries. Hospitalization, extensive missed work and high medical bills may all result. It will be crucial to recover the highest amount of financial compensation possible, in order to pay for these expenses, rebuild your bike, and move on with your life. That is precisely what we at the Michigan Bikers Association are committed to doing for our clients.
