Personal Injury resulting from a motorcycle accident

Motorcycle accidents are much more likely to have severer personal injury consequences. This is because the user is in a much more vulnerable state in comparison to those in cars. Even a relatively minor accident can have dire consequences because there is very little element of safety, other than thick leathers and a helmet.

The types of personal injury that can occur often include broken bones, serious grazing and lacerations. A more serious personal injury is also possible, and can include amputation of limbs, and spinal injury, brain injury and head injury.

The peak age for personal injury occurring through motorcycle accidents is 16-20, and 31-35. Males are also 15 times more likely to be involved in a motorcycle accident.

One of the most common causes of motorcycle accidents is right of way errors, because other road users have not seen the motorcyclist. Another common scenario is during filtering, especially during peak traffic times.
