What are the most common injuries in a motorcycle accident?
Perhaps the two most common forms of injury sustained in a motorcycle accident are traumatic brain and spinal cord injury. Because a motorcyclist’s body is essentially unprotected in a collision, being thrown off the bike upon impact occurs frequently. Even seemingly minor collisions can cause severe and lasting injuries, such as quadriplegia and paraplegia. Other common injuries include broken legs, arms, pelvis, and back. To protect yourself from possible accidents, it is important to always wear a helmet and other necessary gear such as a heavy jacket and pants, gloves, and sunglasses or goggles. Always use a headlight and reflective material when riding to help other motorists know you’re there. And most importantly, make sure that other drivers can see you – always assume you are invisible, and take extra measures to guarantee your visibility.
