Why Motorcycle And Bicycles Result In Significant Injuries
An operator of a motorcycle and bicycle face unique challenges on the road because they do not enjoy the same protection offered to vehicle passengers and cannot contend with the power and size of automobiles. More people than ever are riding, whether for commuting to work, exercising or simply enjoying the outdoors. Pennsylvania cities are becoming more bicycle-friendly, as bike lanes are installed and new laws are passed to protect safety. Those who bike to work are doing so to remain active and to rely less on their cars.
Car drivers should respect this choice and be on the lookout for motorcycles and bicycles. Unfortunately, accidents between cars and cycles are common, and often the result of a careless or distracted vehicle driver. Mr. Williams has extensive experience as a motorcycle rider, and he is here to help.
Serious Injuries For Motorcyclists And Cyclists
Motorcycle and bicycle accidents caused by a car, truck, van, bus, SUV or other motor vehicle can cause serious injuries. A biker’s head, legs, arms and knees are the most likely to be injured in an accident and can include such injuries as:
- Traumatic brain injury
- Spinal cord injury
- Paraplegia
- Quadriplegia
- Fractured bones
A biker who has been hit may have pain and severe injuries which can be very difficult to cope with and warrant a consultation with an experienced and aggressive accident lawyer who understands the unique position of a biker.
