What Are Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries?

Motorcycles provide little in the way of protection for riders. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that more than 80 percent of all reported motorcycle crashes result in serious injury or death to the motorcyclist. It is other drivers involved who are to blame. Our Chatsworth motorcycle accident attorneys help you hold them accountable. While you focus on recovering from your injuries, Harris Personal Injury Lawyers focus on getting you the compensation you deserve. Common types of motorcycle accident injuries in cases we handle include:

• Back and neck injuries, including whiplash and damage to vertebrae or discs;
• Crushing injuries, causing damage to limbs and body organs;
• Deep cuts and lacerations, which often result in permanent disfigurement;
• Head injuries, resulting in concussion and other types of traumatic brain injuries (TBI);
• Multiple fractures and shattered joints;
• Road rash and burn injuries due to contact with hot engine parts or fluids;
• Soft tissue injuries, such as torn muscles and tendons;
• Spinal cord injuries, which can result in partial or complete paralysis.

Who Is To Blame For Motorcycle Accidents?

Reckless driving behaviors on the part of other drivers or even other motorcyclists is the most common cause of motorcycle accidents. This includes:

• Aggressive driving, such as failure to yield and following too closely;
• Distracted driving, such as talking on cell phones or texting;
• Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs;
• Running red lights or stop signs;
• Speeding and going too fast for conditions.

When another person's actions leave you with potentially serious motorcycle accident injuries, you have the right to hold them accountable in a claim. At Harris Personal Injury Lawyers,  our legal team aggressively negotiates with insurance representatives involved to ensure you get the maximum amount in any settlements. If the at-fault driver is uninsured or your injuries are severe, we can guide you in filing a personal injury lawsuit against them.

How Much Is My Motorcycle Accident Case Worth?

Motorcycle accidents can leave you suffering injuries that prevent you from working while requiring ongoing medical care. Why should you have to pay for something that was not your fault? At Harris Personal Injury Lawyers, we help you get the compensation you need to cover your losses. While each case is different, you can trust our Chatsworth motorcycle accident attorneys to fight for the maximum amount allowed by law. Common types of compensation available under the California Civil Code include:

• Economic damages, which cover your actual losses, including both current medical expenses and lost wages as well as any potential future costs.
• Non-economic damages, which cover intangible losses, such as pain, suffering, and any loss of enjoyment in life your motorcycle accident injuries result in.
• Punitive damages, which is an additional amount the judge may order is the at-fault driver acted in a particularly willful and negligent manner.
