Common Motorcycle Accidents Injuries

Whether you are riding through Wallhaven, Highland Square or Chapel Hill, there is no barrier between you and the road. You may get thrown from your bike, or even worse, through a windshield or suffer road burn, broken bones, and brain injuries.

Any accident is serious, but motorcycle riders are at a higher risk. In addition to riding an unenclosed vehicle, you have very little protection.

Injuries commonly seen in motorcycle accidents include:

• Concussions and Brain Injuries
• Whiplash
• Broken bones
• Cognitive deficits
• Permanent nerve and muscle damage
• Paralysis
• Cuts

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

In most cases, motorcycle accidents happen because of someone other than the rider. When a car is turning or changing lanes, a motorcycle might be in their blind spot. If they collide, the odds do not favor the rider. Accidents like this are common on Interstate 76, a highway that runs alongside Akron.

Common causes of motorcycle accidents include:

• Cars attempting to pass motorcycles
• Distracted driving
• Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
• A motorcycle being rear ended
• Trucks accidents from attempting dangerous maneuvers
• Switching lanes or turning without yielding
