Common Injuries in Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents can result in an endless number of possible injuries, but there are some injuries that are more common than others. The most common injuries sustained in motorcycle accidents are:

• Head Injury: Even with a helmet, the impact bikers typically sustain after being thrown from their motorcycle can be jarring, resulting in a concussion, or even traumatic brain injury.
• Road Rash: While motorcyclists are typically outfitted in protective gear, sometimes the gear is not enough to protect them from more severe crashes. Road rash is typically caused by sliding on the pavement, causing the skin to rub, peel, or burn off from the friction. These injuries can be very painful and sometimes result in scarring.
• Biker’s Arm: Because of human instinct, most motorcyclists will throw out their arms to stop their fall, no matter how impossible the feat may seem. This usually breaks, fractures, strains, sprains, or dislocates the arm, depending on the severity and type of crash.
• Leg Injury: Some crashes can pin the motorcyclist under their bike, or cause them to slide out with their bike, often catching a leg underneath. This can cause severe injury to the leg, shattering the kneecap, breaking bones, or causing dislocation or sprains.
• Bone Fractures: Unlike in cars or trucks, motorcycles have no barrier between their vehicle and the road in the event of a crash. This usually means the motorcyclist is thrown around a bit more, sustaining more injuries following more frequent, jarring impacts. For example, if a motorcyclist rolls off his bike and rolls along the road he may land on the pavement 5 times, sustaining an injury to 5 different parts of his body.
