Common Injuries in Motorcycle Accidents in Maui

Motorcycle accidents often result in serious injuries due to the limited protection riders have compared to those in enclosed vehicles. Some of the most common injuries in crashes like the one on Old Haleakala Highway include:

• Road rash and lacerations: Abrasions from sliding across pavement or impact with debris can range from minor scrapes to severe skin damage requiring surgery or grafts.
• Fractures and broken bones: Arms, legs, ribs, and collarbones are especially vulnerable in motorcycle collisions, often necessitating casts, surgeries, or long-term physical therapy.
• Head injuries: Even with helmets, riders may suffer concussions or traumatic brain injuries, which can have long-lasting cognitive or neurological effects.
• Spinal injuries: Accidents can result in vertebral fractures or spinal cord damage, potentially causing partial or full paralysis depending on severity.
• Internal injuries: Internal bleeding, organ damage, or other complications may not be immediately apparent but can be life-threatening if untreated.
• Emotional trauma: Surviving a motorcycle crash can leave lasting psychological effects, including anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Motorcycle accidents can be physically, emotionally, and financially devastating. Victims may face hospital bills, lost wages, and extended rehabilitation. Consulting a Maui motorcycle accident lawyer can help ensure victims pursue compensation for medical care, lost income, pain and suffering, and property damage.
