Common Injuries from Motorcycle Accidents

An extensive study was done by researcher Harry Hurt to determine the causes of motorcycle accidents, the type of people who are injured, and the types of injuries they suffer.

According to his findings, half of all motorcycle accident injuries were fractures or crushing injuries to the ankle, foot, lower leg, knee and upper thigh. This is understandable: cars often change lanes without seeing that a motorcycle is already in that lane, striking the biker's leg and feet. A motorcyclist swerving to avoid a collision will lay their bike down on the roadway, causing crushing leg and feet injuries, lacerations and road rash to legs and arms.

The most deadly injuries to motorcycle riders are chest injuries, head injuries and traumatic brain injuries, not all of which can be prevented by wearing a helmet. Bikers suffered groin injuries in 13 percent of motorcycle accidents.

Get the Compensation You Deserve

In any serious injury case, the bills can quickly become overwhelming — and the insurance company delay and claim denial tactics can become very frustrating. Particularly in motorcycle accident cases, it is very important to work with an attorney and to choose one with experience handling motorcycle cases.

At the Phoenix law office of Solomon & Relihan, our personal injury attorneys have been representing the victims of motorcycle accidents for more than 30 years. We have the experience it takes to get you full and fair compensation.

"How Much Is My Case Worth?"

One of the most important facts to remember about personal injury claims is that you have only one chance to seek a financial settlement for your injuries. If your injuries were serious, the consequences may last a lifetime.

While all bikers are susceptible to motorcycle accidents, riders between the ages of 16 and 24 are the most likely to be involved in a motorcycle crash. If they require ongoing in-home nursing care or are unable to work, this is a large financial loss.

No one can accurately predict the value of a motorcycle accident case until all the evidence that could affect the claim has been gathered and the victim's medical condition has stabilized. At Solomon & Relihan, we can also help you get the medical care you need to get well again.
