Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries
Riding a motorcycle is a passion that many people have. And while it is something that is fun and exhilarating, it also poses serious risks to riders and their passengers. Because motorcycles are less stable and less visible to other vehicles on the road, it can be especially dangerous for riders. Additionally, motorcycles have much less protection compared to other vehicles, as they do not have the external protection like an enclosed vehicle and they do not have seat belts or airbags either.
In an accident, motorcyclists are more likely to face serious injuries or even death than passenger vehicle occupants. That is why as a motorcycle rider, it is imperative to drive cautiously and wear the proper protective gear.
In this blog, you will learn about some of the most common motorcycle accident injuries. Motorcycle injuries can range from minor to severe, and even deadly--depending on several factors. Many times, those injured in a motorcycle accident experience substantial injuries and if they’re lucky, minor ones, which can be rare.
Some of the most common injuries in a motorcycle accident include:
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries
- Lower-extremity injuries
- Internal injuries
- Fractures
- Road rash
While these are just to name a few, it certainly puts into perspective how dangerous riding a motorcycle can be. Therefore, you should always ride cautiously, follow the rules of the road, and wear the proper protective gear to reduce the risk of an accident.
