Fire Fighters At Work On The Vehicle Accident

Common Types of Motorcycle Accident Injuries

The beautiful climate we enjoy in The Sunshine State makes Florida a prime territory for motorcycle enthusiasts. The abundance of bright sunshine and warm weather year-round creates an irresistible allure, enticing both residents and vacationers alike to embrace the exhilarating freedom that comes with riding a motorcycle. The open roads beckon, offering endless opportunities for exploration and adventure against the backdrop of Florida’s scenic landscapes. However, amidst the excitement and thrill of motorcycle riding, the reality of the risks involved cannot be overlooked. Despite the idyllic setting, Florida grapples with a sobering statistic: an average of over 10,000 motorcycle crashes occur annually within its borders, resulting in approximately 600 fatalities per year. Tragically, the majority of these motorcycle accidents leave victims with debilitating injuries, shattering lives and families in their wake. 

Motorcycle Accident Injuries Attorneys

The open exposure experienced while riding a motorcycle, in contrast to the protection provided by an enclosed vehicle, significantly heightens the inherent dangers associated with motorcycling. The absence of a protective barrier leaves riders vulnerable to the full impact of accidents, substantially increasing the risk of significant injury and even death. At Ligori & Ligori, we understand the gravity of motorcycle accidents and the devastating toll they can exact on victims and their families. As a trusted motorcycle accident law firm in Florida, we are dedicated to advocating for the rights and well-being of those injured in motorcycle accidents.

Among the myriad injuries resulting from motorcycle accidents, some of the most common and debilitating include:

  • Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): According to a study conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), approximately 21% of motorcycle riders involved in accidents suffer from traumatic brain injuries. Alarmingly, 54% of these riders do not survive their injuries, highlighting the profound impact of TBIs in motorcycle accidents.
  • Spinal Cord Injuries: Motorcycle accidents frequently result in catastrophic spinal cord injuries, often leading to permanent disabilities and lifelong challenges for victims. The debilitating effects of spinal cord injuries can significantly diminish a victim’s quality of life and independence.
  • Lower-Extremity Injuries: The NHTSA study on lower-extremity injuries in motorcycle crashes underscores the prevalence of such injuries among riders. Leg injuries and bone fractures are among the most frequently sustained injuries in motorcycle accidents, posing significant challenges to recovery and rehabilitation.
  • Internal Injuries: Blunt force trauma and penetrating trauma commonly occur in motorcycle accidents, resulting in critical internal injuries that may not be immediately apparent but can have serious long-term consequences for victims.
  • Road Rash: Road rash, characterized by severe skin abrasions caused by contact with the road’s hard surface, is a common and often painful consequence of motorcycle accidents. Beyond the immediate physical trauma, road rash injuries are susceptible to infections and can lead to permanent scarring, further compounding the trauma experienced by victims.

In the aftermath of a motorcycle accident, seeking prompt medical attention and legal guidance is paramount to ensuring the best possible outcome for recovery and compensation. At Ligori & Ligori, we are committed to providing compassionate support and relentless advocacy for motorcycle accident victims and their families. With our extensive experience and dedication to excellence, we strive to secure the justice and compensation our clients deserve.

Riding a motorcycle is simply dangerous due to the lack of protection for the rider. Although modern motorcycle safety features and protective equipment are better than ever, motorcycle accidents still cause some of the most catastrophic injuries that require extensive recovery and rehabilitation. The costs of these medical treatments are extreme; add to that the time you lose off work in recovery, and you could suffer immense losses.
