Common Injuries Suffered in Motorcycle Accidents

Neck or head injuries are the most frequent motorcycle accidents.  At the time of impact, the motorcyclist's neck receives the greatest blow, immediately followed by the head.  This happens because motorcyclist are completely exposed when riding a motorcycle. For this reason, it is highly advisable to wear helmets at all times. Wearing a helmet can be the difference between life and death. However, even wearing a helmet can result in a concussion or brain damage.  

Road rash the second most common motorcycle injury. Road rash injuries come from sliding across the pavement or when your skin becomes exposed and rubs against the concrete. It is advisable to wear thick clothes when riding a motorcycle. “Biker's Arm” is a very specific injury to motorcycle accidents. Due to the lack of protection during a motorcycle accident, the motorcyclist's arms become the first line of defense against impact. While all these are instant impact injuries, there are some that develop through time such as muscle damage caused by repeated injury.
