Common Injuries to Motorcycle Riders in Accidents

When there is a crash impact between a motorcycle and another motor vehicle the persons on the motorcycle will either be thrown from the bike or possibly pinned beneath it as it slides to a stop. In either case, there can be significant damage to the body.

Depending on the circumstances, virtually any part of the body can be injured. Some of the more common injuries reported after non-fatal motorcycle accidents include:

• Arms and legs – Injuries to extremities tend to be common in motorcycle accidents and can be more or less severe depending on the protection worn.

• Head – An unprotected head injury can often be fatal in a motorcycle accident. However, wearing a motorcycle helmet may not prevent a traumatic brain injury depending on the severity of the impact.

• Chest and abdomen – Broken ribs and internal organ damage can occur when the body hits hard objects at high speeds. Internal bleeding can become a life-threatening injury.

• Spine – Trauma to the spine may cause soft tissue damage as well as broken vertebrae. A severe spinal injury can also damage the spinal cord which can result in paralysis.

The Importance of Determining Fault After a Motorcycle Accident

In Georgia, the determination of fault for a motorcycle accident can directly impact the ability of an injured party to receive compensation for their injuries. An injured party who is less than 50% responsible for causing an accident may still seek compensation from the other at-fault parties but the amount that can be recovered will be reduced by the percentage of fault. An injured party who is 50% or more responsible for causing an accident is barred from any recovery.

In situations where an injured party may have some fault for causing an accident, it is imperative to do everything possible to keep the apportionment of fault to a minimum amount. This requires knowing how multi-vehicle accidents involving motorcycles typically occur and how various contributing factors can affect the likelihood of causing the accident and resulting injuries.

Whether or Not a Motorcycle Helmet is Worn

All motorcycle riders are required to wear helmets in Georgia. Failure to wear a motorcycle helmet is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine and possible jail time. So how does the failure to wear a helmet affect a personal injury claim?

Failing to wear a helmet will affect a personal injury claim to the extent that wearing a helmet could have prevented or reduced the severity of the claimed injuries. Not wearing a helmet will have a direct impact on a head injury claim. Not wearing a helmet will have no impact on a leg injury claim.
