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.

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 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.
