Citrus Heights is great for motorcycle enthusiasts due to its pleasant weather and long stretches of open roads. However, it’s essential to acknowledge the potential dangers of riding motorcycles, as it is considered the most fatal form of transportation. Studies have shown that motorcycle riders are 35 times more likely to be involved in fatal accidents than car drivers, with nearly 5,000 motorcyclist fatalities each year from approximately 90,000 accidents.

If you have lost a loved one in a fatal motorcycle accident, you may be eligible for compensation by pursuing a wrongful death claim against the responsible vehicle owner. Moreover, motorcyclists who have suffered injuries due to someone else’s negligence may have valid negligence claims.

If you have experienced serious injuries in a motorcycle accident caused by another person’s negligence, you can seek financial compensation for the damages and losses you have suffered.

Motorcycle accidents can result in highly severe and debilitating injuries that have the potential to cause long-lasting effects. While some injuries may be temporary, many individuals experience lifelong challenges. These challenges can significantly impact your ability to perform everyday tasks, such as dressing yourself or preparing meals. Additionally, caring for your loved ones, including your spouse and children, can become increasingly difficult due to the limitations caused by these injuries.

Typical motorcycle accident injuries include:

• Traumatic brain injuries
• Spinal cord and neck injuries
• Chest injuries
• Internal organ injuries
• Broken bones and ribs
• Lacerations, bruises, and road rash
• Disfigurement
• Burns
• Amputations

The leading type of motorcycle crash injury is a traumatic brain injury. Your head is especially vulnerable, so helmet use is recommended while operating a motorcycle. The risk of death increases by 40% if you don’t wear a helmet while motorcycling.

In addition, other non-physical injuries may include:

• Loss of ability to work
• Difficulty paying mounting medical bills
• PTSD, emotional pain, and trauma
• Diminished quality of life
• A temporary or permanent disability that forces you to change how you do things

Motorcycle injuries also have a lasting and severe effect on families. If your loved ones rely on you to provide for the family to do something as simple as picking up the kids from school, you may be unable to perform tasks after a motorcycle accident.
