Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries

Not all injuries in a motorcycle accident are life-altering, but that does not mean they are not severe or will not disrupt a victim’s life.

Below are some of the most common injuries sustained in motorcycle accidents:

  • Spinal cord and back injuries: Spinal cord and back injuries can range in severity, leading to loss of sensation, fractures, or even partial or total paralysis. 

 

  • Broken bones: Even with the proper safety gear, motorcyclists can still suffer serious bone injuries in an accident. Broken bones and fractures often occur when a rider is hit by a vehicle or makes an impact with the ground.

 

  • Traumatic brain injuries: Accounting for nearly 22% of all motorcycle accident injuries, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), these types of injuries are among some of the most severe.

 

  • Arm and leg injuries: In accidents where riders are thrown off their bike, arm and leg injuries are common.

 

What Does Compensation Cover?

Compensation for a motorcycle accident case covers many things. Ultimately, the amount you are awarded will depend on the severity of your accident.

Here is what compensation may cover:

  • Medical expenses, including emergency room care, office visits, chiropractic care, physical therapy, and more
  • Lost time from work and lost earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Loss of consortium
  • Wrongful death

In New York, punitive damages may also be awarded if the person responsible for the accident acted egregiously.
