Road Rash
One of the most common types of motorcycle
accidents is that of road rash. When a motorcycle
is hit by another vehicle it will throw the rider
off the bike and onto the road. It doesnt matter
how fast the other vehicle is going, there is no
protection around the biker to prevent him or her
from being thrown from the bike. As the body
slides across the road it will suffer road rash,
which often looks like burns on the skin.

Broken Bones
Its also common for victims of motorcycle
accidents to suffer broken bones. Since there is
no protection to the body its easy for an arm,
leg, hand, foot or arm to break in the crash.
Most breaks occur when the rider braces him or
herself for the fall, straightening their arm as
they hit the ground.

Injuries to the Head
Whether you ride with a helmet or take the risk
of riding without one, you can suffer an injury
to your head in a motorcycle accident. Head
injuries can include traumatic brain injuries
(TBI), skull fractures, facial fractures, facial
burns and much more. Your head can easily be
injured in a motorcycle crash even when you are
wearing a helmet. It all depends on the force of
the impact of your head with the other vehicle or
the road.

Damage to the Muscles
Its not uncommon for victims of motorcycle
accidents to suffer damage to their muscles. This
damage might not be present right after the
accident as it could develop over a period of
weeks or months. The muscle damage could be
limited or it could be permanent, which could
lead the accident victim to struggle with motor
skills.
7
Injuries to the Spinal Cord
Motorcycle accident victims could also suffer
spinal cord injuries. These injuries could range
from minor to severe, with the most severe
causing the victim to be disabled permanently.
Spinal cord injuries can also lead to issues with
your vision, arms, legs and other areas of the
body.

Seek Medical Treatment
Even if you did not suffer a severe injury in
your motorcycle accident you should still seek
medical treatment. Its quite possible that you
could have delayed onset of pain. This is common
because of the adrenaline in your body blocking
the pain from presenting itself to you. If you
seek medical treatment the doctor will be able to
run a series of tests to spot internal bleeding
and other damage.
