When negligence leads to a motorcycle crash, the aftermath can bring fractures, road rash, and brain and spinal cord injuries. A proficient motorcycle accident attorney stands ready to help victims in seeking rightful compensation to lessen the physical, emotional, and financial repercussions.
Common Types of Serious Motorcycle Injuries
In the event of a motorcycle collision, virtually any part of the body becomes susceptible to fractures. In cases of severe breaks, where bones protrude through the skin, the risk of infection is heightened. Specific fracture types may yield further complexities; prolonged immobilization, for instance, might elevate the danger of blood clots or bedsores.
Road rash: Like a burn, when a motorcyclist’s body makes contact with the ground, such as from skidding across the pavement. The most severe type of road rash can cause damage to the tissues and muscles underneath the skin.
Complications such as infections might arise, leading to skin grafts to expedite healing and cover exposed areas. Compensation for these injuries and other expenses may be pursued with help from a motorcycle accident attorney.
The Consequences of Traumatic Brain and Spinal Cord Injuries
A severe traumatic brain injury from a motorcycle crash can affect a person in a variety of ways, which largely depends on the severity of the injury. Mild concussions may bring about temporary confusion and headaches, while more severe TBI can yield enduring complications. These span from enduring issues with memory and concentration to shifts in one's personality. Physical challenges encompass impaired movement, coordination, and potential psychological problems like anxiety and depression.
Spinal cord injuries vary from minor discomfort-inducing herniated discs to grave spinal cord harm. The implications extend to other bodily regions depending on the injury site, potentially causing chronic pain and even paralysis. Such catastrophic injuries could result in lifelong wheelchair dependency and ongoing medical care.
Consulting a Motorcycle Accident Attorney
The toll from severe motorcycle injuries can encompass substantial medical expenses and long-term care costs for victims and their families. Lost wages may compound matters, especially if employment becomes unrealistic for an extended period. Getting help from a motorcycle accident attorney allows the pursuit of comprehensive compensation, from financial damages and emotional distress such as pain and suffering.
Victims of these accidents should seek consultation with a motorcycle accident attorney, as damages may be extensive and recovery of compensation is important.
