Common Injuries From Ohio Motorcycle Accidents
The severity of a motorcycle accident that occurs on Ohio’s roads depends on factors, such as the type of crash and what protective gear the motorcyclist was wearing. However, even a relatively minor impact on a motorcycle rider can cause devastating injuries.
These injuries can occur because there is virtually nothing to protect the rider after the crash’s initial impact—excluding any padded clothing or a helmet, which can only do so much. Common injuries in motorcycle accidents include:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and other head injuries
- Cuts and bruises from skidding on the roadway, otherwise known as road rash
- Broken bones, commonly to the ribs and extremities
- Internal injuries
- Spinal cord injuries, which may cause paralysis
- Whiplash and other neck injuries
If you were hurt in a motorcycle accident, it is recommended that you seek immediate medical treatment. Even if you think your injuries are minor and may heal on their own, a doctor can give you a proper diagnosis and begin any treatment you may need.
If your injuries become more serious later and you decide to pursue compensation, medical records that connect the accident to your injuries can become valuable evidence in your case.
Negligent Motorists Should be Held Accountable
Motorcyclists are at higher risk of injury than other motorists when they ride on Ohio roadways. In fact, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates that motorcyclists are about 28 times more likely to suffer fatal injuries in a traffic accident than individuals in passenger cars. Riders are more likely to fall victim to serious injuries in these accidents due to their exposure and the possibility of dual impact.
While the reasons for these accidents vary, many are attributed to driver error, such as failing to yield to motorcycles and distracted driving. According to the Ohio State Highway Patrol (OSHP), there were nearly 760 traffic accidents investigated in Marion County in 2020, with more than 80 distracted driving violations noted.
When a driver hits a motorcyclist due to careless or reckless driving, the victim or surviving family members have a right to hold them accountable. A motorcycle collision lawyer from our firm can help.
