Getting to the Bottom of Motorcycle Personal Injuries

As a Los Angeles and Orange County California motorcycle
accident attorney and a motorcycle rider it is a fair assumption to
say that there is no motorcycle accident or injury that a rider
benefits from being involved.

When a rider is unfortunate to be involved in a motorcycle
accident and riders come to the Ehline Law Firm for help we make it
our main goal to prepare the case with the utmost care to ensure
that the insurance adjustor or the jury will understand all the
facts and attain the highest settlement possible. Attorney Michael
P. Ehline will go the extra mile to make certain clients are
pleased with how their case was handled.

To build and prepare a motorcycle accident injury case properly
takes skill and experience and the California motorcycle accident
is different than any other case. It also takes an attorney that
understands motorcycles, because any attorney can build a case with
the proper evidence but it takes an attorney who is also a rider to
understand it fully.

The Motorcycle Accident

The
motorcycle accident statistics show that over eighty percent of
motorcycle riders that are involved in an accident are either
injured or killed. A motorcycle accident can involve many factors
and these include the motorcycle, the vehicle, and the response,
along with road and weather conditions. What is known for certain
is this is a brutal type of accident because the rider has no
protection like that of the driver in a vehicle.

There Is A Reason Why There Are More Injuries In A Motorcycle
Accident

According to research on motorcycle accidents the rider has a
higher injury rate than any other type of vehicle and some of the
reasons for these injuries are:

Protection from head injuries is dependent on a helmet only and
many riders do not afford themselves even this limited
protection.

Being ejected from the motorcycle is also common during an
accident and even with the proper protection gear injuries
occurs.

Road conditions and weather elements also contribute to many
motorcycle accidents that end with injuries.

Motorcycles are a far different vehicle than any other, there is
not metal surrounding the rider to take the impact during an
accident, there is also no seatbelts or airbags to protect the
rider that are in place in other vehicles to protect the
driver.

After The Accident What Research Shows

When a rider has been involved in a
motorcycle accident the research that has been done shows some
statistics of the injuries that riders suffer.

Twenty-three percent of accidents result in numerous injuries
and eighteen percent of riders involved in accidents sustain head
injuries and many of these have life long effects becoming a

permanent disability. There is also ten percent of motorcycle
riders that suffer back and "font-style:italic;">
spine injuries and included in this number are injuries
that result in paraplegia and quadriplegia.

In total this is
fifty-one percent of motorcycle riders that were involved in
accidents that have sustained injuries that could change their
lives forever and making many dependent on others to care for them.
