Biker’s arm occurs when a motorcyclist braces for impact during a crash, absorbing the force through their arms. This can result in nerve damage in the brachial plexus, median, ulnar, or radial nerves, leading to loss of sensation or movement in the arms and hands.
Additionally, if a motorcycle falls onto the rider’s arm, it can crush these nerves, causing temporary or permanent paralysis. Because symptoms may not appear immediately, riders should seek medical attention after a crash—even if they feel fine.
Don’t wait to see a doctor. If you suspect nerve damage from a motorcycle accident, seek medical care immediately. Then, consult with an experienced Ohio motorcycle accident attorney at KNR to discuss your legal options
