Common Motorcycle Injuries

While motorcycles share the beautiful (but crowded) Los Angeles roadways with cars and trucks, this mode of transportation is so different than others. Unfortunately, the unique open-nature of a motorcycle means that riders' injuries are often much more severe and lasting when there is an accident. As a Los Angeles motorcycle accident lawyer and law firm, we have spent four decades working with riders following an accident and know the unique injuries and struggles accident victims deal with. If you or a loved one has been injured in a bike accident, call us today to set up your totally free consultation with Walch Law to learn more about your legal options.

Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries

Your injuries following a major bike accident can impact you for the rest of your life. We work to limit that impact by working to ensure that you are not also suffering financially after your accident. Here’s a look at some of the most common motorcycle accident injuries:

• Road rash & skin injuries: Leather isn’t just a uniform for motorcycle riders, it provides a protective layer between the rider and the road, and should they meet. But even with strong, protective clothing, the impact and skid on a hot road at fast speeds can cause burns and major road rash injuries.

• Lower body injuries: Because the legs and feet of a motorcycle rider is so exposed, these body parts are some of the most common injuries that occur in an accident. Broken bones almost always result when the heavy motorcycle falls on the rider in the chaos of the crash.

• Head and neck injuries: Helmets save lives but wearing one does not mean that riders still don’t get serious head and neck injuries on impact. Usually, the jerk of a crash landing can cause traumatic brain injuries, spine, or neck compression.
