Common Motorcycle Injuries in St. Louis
Head Injuries and Traumatic Brain Injuries
(TBI) are very common, especially when riders aren’t wearing helmets.
Neck, back or spine injuries
After a motorcycle collides with a car or truck, the lack of restraints for the motorcyclist often leads to being thrown from the bike and onto the vehicle or the ground. This can result in varying degrees of neck injuries such as whiplash, or more severe spinal cord injuries that may cause paralysis or be fatal.
Broken bones
In a side impact scenario, the crushing of a leg against the motorcycle or having the bike fall with the rider’s leg trapped underneath can result in serious leg and foot injuries.
Road rash
Injury caused by the rider’s body sliding or skidding across the ground after being knocked from a bike. This can cause permanent scarring or disfigurement. Protective gear may help the rider mitigate this injury to some extent, but no gear can fully prevent road rash.
Fatal motorcycle crashes
Unfortunately, the types of injuries described above are all too prevalent. If a loved one has lost their life due to a motorcycle accident caused by the negligence or reckless behavior of another party, it is within your legal rights to pursue a wrongful death claim in order to seek compensation for your losses.
Whiplash injuries
Whiplash is a type of neck injury that occurs as a result of a sudden and forceful back-and-forth motion. This motion can cause damage to the soft tissue, muscles, and ligaments in the neck, leading to pain, stiffness, and limited mobility.
