Motorcycle Accident? Rely On Accident Recovery
Motorcycle riding is a favorite pastime for many people, especially in these warm summer months. A motorcycle accident can happen anywhere and result in serious personal injuries, even in your own neighborhood. The most common cause of motorcycle accidents is the failure of other motorists to detect and recognize motorcycles in traffic. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a motorcyclist’s risk of a fatal crash is 35 times greater than the driver or occupant of a passenger car.
A motorcycle accident can result in severe injuries or even death. Here are a few of the most common injuries that can occur:
- Broken or fractured bones
- Head trauma
- Road rash. Road rash is a skin abrasion which is caused by being dragged along pavement or concrete. Road rash is extremely painful and can result in permanent scarring, and in some cases, the need for skin grafts.
Any of these injuries can require lengthy recovery time, resulting in high medical bills and lost time from work.
