Injuries and Damages from a Motorcycle Crash

A car and a motorcycle are no match for one another – the car is much larger and, by design, its occupants are well-protected. The car has a metal frame which is likely designed to absorb some of the force of the crash, and occupants are protected by safety features like airbags and seatbelts. The same cannot be said for the rider of a motorcycle, whose own body may absorb the force of the crash and who has few protections, if any, to prevent injuries. A motorcyclist may be crushed or pinned in a crash, thrown from their bike, or otherwise severely harmed. As such, the extent of injuries suffered by a motorcyclist who is hit by a motor vehicle is often devastating. Types of injuries and damages that a motorcyclist may incur in a Hanover motorcycle accident include–

  • Head and brain injuries. One of the most vulnerable parts of the body is the brain, especially if a motorcyclist is not wearing a helmet when a crash occurs. A traumatic brain injury is a common injury type in this kind of accident, even when a helmet is worn.
  • Back, neck, and spinal cord injuries. Back and neck sprains and strains, vertebrae fractures, and even spinal cord injuries are all possible in a crash. Of these, spinal cord injuries are the most tragic, as a spinal cord injury can cause permanent paralysis from the site of the injury downwards. 
  • External injuries. A motorcyclist will likely suffer a number of external injuries in a crash, including bruises, lacerations, and road rash/road burn injuries.
  • Internal injuries. It is very possible, if not probable, that the motorcyclist’s body will be hit with force. This can result in internal injuries, including internal bleeding and, in serious cases, organ failure.
  • Injuries to extremities. A motorcyclist’s hands, feet, and limbs may be severely harmed in a crash. Crush and amputation injuries, soft tissue injuries, and severe bone fracture injuries are all possible. These injuries can be painful and debilitating for years – sometimes, for life.

Physical injuries aren’t the only type of damages that a motorcyclist may suffer. In addition the severe physical harm, a motorcyclist will also likely suffer:

  • Lost wages as a result of their injuries;
  • High medical bills and ongoing medical expenses;
  • Psychological injuries;
  • Property damage expenses (the value of their motorcycle); and
  • Pain, suffering, emotional distress, disability, a diminished quality of life, etc. 

Proving Fault in a Motorcycle Accident

In order to recover compensation for the full value of your damages after a Hanover motorcycle accident, you’ll need to be able to prove that the other driver’s fault was the cause of the crash.

Our investigation process includes traveling to the scene of the accident, talking to the responsible driver, interviewing eyewitnesses, hiring the best experts nationwide (such as accident reconstruction experts), analyzing any data – including vehicle electronic control module data, reviewing the police report, and more.
