What Are the Most Common Types of Motorcycle Injuries in Florida?
Our injury lawyers have helped clients recover damages for many common injuries associated with motorcycle accidents. They include:
- Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI’s): A traumatic brain injury occurs when your brain receives a sudden trauma, such as hitting your head or having your head shaken violently back and forth. Traumatic brain injuries are among the most serious injuries among motorcyclists involved in an accident.
- Road Rash: Road rash, sometimes referred to as road burn, is a friction burn to your skin that occurs when your exposed skin is dragged across the surface of the roadway. Road rash is extremely painful but rarely fatal. However, complications such as an infection can happen. It may be necessary for you to have to undergo multiple surgeries, and you may suffer permanent scarring.
- Spinal Cord Injuries: Your spinal cord is one of the most sensitive parts of your body, and when it’s injured, it can result in catastrophic injuries such as permanent or partial paralysis.
- Internal Injuries: If your body is struck with enough force or a broken bone injury is extremely severe, your internal organs could be damaged or punctured. This can result in you suffering internal bleeding.
- Broken Bones: Because your body is so exposed when riding your motorcycle, it wouldn’t be uncommon for you to suffer multiple broken bones as a result of a motorcycle accident.
- Loss of Life: Unfortunately, over 5,000 motorcyclists die on roads in the United States every year and account for approximately 10% of all traffic fatalities. In most of the deaths as a result of a motorcycle accident, the rider suffered a traumatic brain injury.
- Soft Tissue Injuries: Soft tissue injuries could include strains, sprains. It’s also very likely that if you are involved in a motorcycle accident, you will suffer some cuts, bruising, and scrapes.
