Common Types Of Motorcycle Accidents
As a motorcyclist, you embrace the freedom of the open road, but an accident with injuries can put the brakes on that freedom. Knowing how they happen could improve your roadway safety.
- T-bone accidents: When a car or truck fails to yield the right of way and crashes into the side of a motorcycle, often at intersections.
- Merging accidents: When a driver fails to check their blind spot and merges into a lane occupied by a motorcycle.
- Speeding accidents: When a speeding vehicle cannot slow or stop in time to avoid colliding with a motorcycle.
- Red light accidents: When a driver disregards a red light and crashes into a motorcycle.
- Left-turn accidents: When a car turning left fails to yield the right of way to an oncoming motorcycle.
- Right-turn accidents: When a driver fails to see a motorcyclist in their blind spot while turning right.
Regardless of how an accident occurred, you need an experienced attorney to protect your rights.
Types Of Serious Injuries In Motorcycle Crashes
Unfortunately, collisions can result in severe physical and emotional harm to the motorcycle operator. We are well-acquainted with the following types of serious and catastrophic injuries:
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI): These can range from mild concussions to severe brain damage, affecting cognitive and motor functions.
- Spinal cord injury (paralysis): Spine damage may lead to partial or complete paralysis, significantly impacting independence and quality of life.
- Amputations: Loss of limbs can occur during the crash or as a necessary medical intervention for severe injuries.
- Severe burns: Collisions can cause intense friction or expose riders to extreme heat, leading to burns that may require extensive treatment.
- Scars and disfigurement: Accidents can leave lasting marks, affecting a victim’s physical appearance and emotional well-being.
