Motorcycle accidents can lead to a wide range of injuries, some of which can be severe and life-altering. Regrettably, there are many instances where people injured in these accidents require extensive medical care. Some of the most common injuries resulting from motorcycle accidents include:

• Spinal Cord Injuries: These can lead to paralysis or lifelong disabilities, impacting a victim’s quality of life.
• Internal Injuries: Organ injuries can be life-threatening and require extensive medical treatment. Common injuries include punctured lungs, spleen ruptures, and kidney damage.

Regrettably, there are many negligent actions that lead to these accidents occurring. Some of the most common include:

• Negligent Drivers: Many accidents occur because other drivers fail to notice or yield to motorcyclists.
• Impaired Driving: Alcohol or drugs impair a driver’s judgment and reaction time, leading to motorcycle collisions.
• Speeding: Excessive speed on the part of the motorcycle rider or other motorists can lead to devastating accidents.
• Distracted Driving: Using phones, eating, or other distractions while driving can result in crashes that end in serious injuries.
