St. Louis Motorcycle Accident Injuries Attorney

Overview of the Types of Motorcycle Accidents Injuries 

Even with a proper helmet and other types of protective safety gear, a motorcycle rider faces serious injury or even death in a motorcycle accident.  Motorcycle riders simply don't have the same protection offered to drivers of cars, trucks, vans, SUVs and other vehicles.  With no steel cage or seatbelts or airbags to protect them, motorcyclists can experience devastating injuries, even at slow speeds.  In fact, some motorcycle accident injuries may not even present themselves right away.  That's why it's important for victims of motorcycle accidents to seek medical attention immediately after an accident, even when they may feel that they are not injured.  Certain types of brain injuries, soft tissue injuries and others do not become evident at once.  The next step is to contact an experienced St. Louis motorcycle accident lawyer to discuss how to move forward with a claim for compensation. 

Types of Motorcycle Accident Injuries

Studies consistently show that motorcycle riders are much more likely than passengers in automobiles to be seriously injured or killed during an accident.  Even with a helmet and safety gear, those who survive a motorcycle accident can suffer minor and major injuries to every part of the body from head to toe. 

• Head Injuries: Head trauma, skull fractures, concussions, brain injuries (with temporary or permanent physical and/or mental disabilities), facial injuries, lacerations and road rash
• Neck and Back Injuries:  Whiplash, spinal cord injuries, paralysis (paraplegia and quadriplegia), disc injuries, pinched nerves
• Arms and Legs:  Broken and crushed bones, dislocations, torn ligaments, road rash, groin injuries, loss of limb or limbs
• Other Injuries: Internal Injuries, organ injuries, internal bleeding, dismemberment, contusions
