Motorcycle Accidents Are Too Common
With Los Angeles’ congested traffic, many commuters choose to travel by motorcycle so they can avoid the worst of the waits. Motorcycles are also far more maneuverable than a car and very economical on gas. Their size is a great benefit—sometimes. Many drivers are only alert for other cars and trucks and fail to notice motorcyclists nearby. This can spell disaster for the rider who has very little protection. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for high-speed accidents to result in catastrophic injury or death.
Common injuries resulting from motorcycle accidents may include:
- Road Rash
- Broken Bones
- Spinal Cord Injuries
- Head Wounds
- Traumatic Brain Injury
- Amputations or loss of limb
- Disfigurement
- Wrongful Death
