Manchester Motorcycle Accident Injuries Lawyer
In a split second, a motorcycle accident can create devastating consequences for the motorcyclist and any applicable passenger. Here’s what you need to know about motorcycle accident injuries and your legal rights:
Motorcycle accident injuries range widely depending on the circumstances and speed of the crash, the build of the driver and any passengers, and other factors. While the most common injuries are cuts, skin lacerations, or broken bones, they can range widely in severity and extend to the brain (brain injury), spinal column (spinal cord injury), limbs (paralysis), face (disfigurement, need for plastic surgery), and more. In addition, up to 4,000 fatalities each year are caused by motorcycle accidents, sometimes after a prolonged period of coma or a vegetative state.
No matter what the injury, the motorcyclist is at especial risk due to the exposed nature of motorcycle travel. While helmets greatly increase the chance of a motorcyclist surviving an accident, they cannot always protect against traumatic brain injury (TBI) and a host of other problems like nerve damage, personality changes, cognitive difficulties, and more. Quick treatment is thought to be the factor that most greatly influences a motorcyclist’s chances for recovery. However, no matter how much safety gear you wear or how quickly you seek treatment, chances are your life could hang in the balance after a motorcycle accident.
Motorcycle accident injuries can have longstanding effects above and beyond physical pain. Families can be devastated to find that their family member’s personality or cognitive abilities have greatly changed. The ability to earn a living or perform normal job duties could be compromised. And the financial pressures can be severe, especially for conditions that require extensive and expensive diagnostics, repeated surgery, rehabilitation, and more.
