Common Injuries in a Motorcycle Accident

Because of their relative lack of protection in comparison with the tons of steel and metal surrounding car and truck drivers, motorcyclists often bear the brunt of an accident. In addition to scrapes, bruises, contusions, and “road rash,” motorcyclists involved in accidents can suffer catastrophic injuries or even wrongful death. You may even suffer from internal injuries, such as those to your brain, spine, or organs; permanent impairment, such as amputation or paralysis; or injuries that leave you in need of long-term rehabilitative care.

In any of these situations, it is important to seek compensation. This financial help can cover economic damages, such as medical care and lost wages, or noneconomic damages, such as loss of consortium, pain and suffering, and other issues. Insurance companies, however, are not in the business of paying out the full and fair compensation you may be owed, as their priority is often their own bottom line. This can be complicated when the cost of your injuries fall on an uninsured and negligent driver.

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in Pennsylvania
