Motorcycle Accident Injuries

Dedicated to Achieving the Outcome You Deserve

Motorcycle drivers are often put at risk of getting into an accident that can cause permanent injuries and disabilities. When another driver is reckless, the motorcyclist is in serious danger because they don’t have the same protection that a car driver has. If you believe you are not at fault or are even partly at fault for your motorcycle accident, get representation from a liable team of lawyers with experience in these types of personal injuries. You can get fair compensation with the help form attorneys who will work hard to help you receive a settlement. Speak to well-educated attorneys with a proven track record of success. Call Henningsen Injury Attorneys P.C. for a free consultation.

How Do Motorcycle Accidents Happen?

Terrible motorcycle accidents can happen for a large number of reasons and may include the following:

Left-Turn Accidents

At green lights, some car drivers may not notice when a vehicle is crossing the intersection at the same time they are making a left turn. This often happens because they may not notice a smaller vehicle driving before they decide to turn. Motorcyclists are often struck this way because a driver didn’t see them.

Blind Spot Accidents

Motorcycles are much smaller than cars and harder to see. It is difficult to notice a motorcyclist in a blind spot, resulting in a higher chance of an accident because the car driver didn’t notice the motorcycle. It is still the driver’s fault, as they should check all their mirrors and look over their shoulder before changing lanes.

Illegal Lane Change Accidents

Some car drivers are neglectful in their driving behavior and fail to signal before changing lanes. They can swerve into other lanes unexpectedly, cut off drivers, and make it difficult for other drivers to react to their sudden behavior in time.

Speeding Accidents

Drivers that often speed may not give a motorcyclist the chance to avoid crashing into them. They can be flying at such a high speed that they also can cause a motorcyclist to suffer from catastrophic injuries.

Substance Abuse Accidents

When a driver is under the influence of an illicit drug, this greatly impairs their ability to operate a vehicle. The same goes for someone with an alcohol BAC level over 0.08%. If the other driver happens to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol, they can be held liable for the damages they caused.

Distracted Driving Accidents

Many drivers are often distracted by their phones or other mobile devices and don’t properly pay attention to the road. For example, they may be texting, watching videos, GPS mapping, sending instant messages, or even sending emails while driving. This puts everyone around them in danger, and they might not even notice a motorcycle in their path before it’s too late.

What Are Some Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries?

Motorcyclists can suffer from far greater injuries compared to that of car drivers that encountered the same accident.

Motorcycle Accident Injuries

Road Rash

Even though most motorcyclists wear protective clothing, they may slide across the road and get a road rash. This is when the skin is rubbed harshly and leaves a red rash behind because of the road’s abrasive surface.

Spinal Cord Damage

You may have suffered from a terrible injury resulting in spinal cord damage because of a harsh impact on the back. For example, you can suffer from pinched nerves, which later results in debilitating pain due to sciatica. Other injuries include slipped or ruptured spinal discs that occur when you hit the ground hard. Some spinal cord injuries are so severe they can cause paralysis, such as hemiplegia and paraplegia.

Traumatic Brain Injury

One of the most dangerous injuries that can happen to a motorcyclist is a traumatic brain injury. This is especially the case if the driver isn’t wearing a helmet. If your head hits the concrete hard enough, the brain can become swollen, get hematomas, begin hemorrhaging, and even suffer from a concussion. This can result in long-term disabilities and the inability to process information properly. Traumatic brain injury can also cause damage to motor skills.

What Can I Do If I Got Into A Motorcycle Accident And Was Offered A Small Settlement?

Before you accept a settlement from any other party, speak to your motorcycle accident injury attorney first. They can help you obtain fair compensation and not a small amount offered by the other party’s insurance company. Your attorney will estimate your economic and non-economic damages. Often insurance companies leave out pain and suffering, even though this makes up the most of your settlement. Call Henningsen Injury Attorneys P.C. today for a free consultation.
