Types of Motorcycle Accidents
Most motorcycle accidents occur because the driver failed to see the motorcyclist until it is too late. Some types of motorcycle accident include:
- Rear-end collisions
- U-turn accidents
- Changing lanes into a motorcyclist
- Left-turn collisions
- Collisions into obstructions on roadways .
Identifying the nature of the accident is important because the type of accident will often determine the type and severity of the injury.
Rear-end Motorcycle Collisions
Rear-end collisions occur when a driver fails to identify the motorcycle ahead, and impacts the rider from behind. Oftentimes in a rear-end collision, riders are thrown off their motorcycle. This will typically result in fatality or a serious injury. Because the rider has no means of controlling where and how they land, injuries sustained after being thrown off can leave riders with permanent disabilities. If the rider lands on his or her back, neck, or head the impact can result in paralysis or other types of severe nerve damage. There have also been cases where riders were thrown into on-coming traffic, resulting in wrongful death.
Severe Motorcycle Accident Injuries
Motorcycles afford riders no protection from the road. And while proper leather attire can protect the rider from burns and scrapes, it does nothing to absorb the impact of an accident. In addition, although helmets have been proven to protect the head, motorcyclists can still sustain serious injury to their neck, back, and the rest of their vulnerable body. Common serious injuries include:
- Spinal cord injury
- Brain injury
- Multiple broken bones
- Amputation
- Severe burn injuries
- Wrongful death.
