Motorcycle Accident Lawyer in Liberty

Riding a motorcycle provides an unmatched sense of freedom on the open roads. However, motorcyclists face far more significant risks than passenger vehicle drivers when crashes occur. It’s unfortunately not uncommon for bike accidents to result in severe, disabling harm with traumatic physical and financial consequences for the rider.

In my twenty years of practice as an attorney for victims of motorbike accidents, I have seen the entire range of possible results from these types of crashes. In the most heartbreaking cases, a single collision irreversibly changes everything for a rider through events entirely out of their control. Motorcyclists must educate themselves on the potential severe injuries that may occur, the painful recovery processes, and the considerable costs that pile up after a severe accident.

Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs)

Though helmets provide life-saving protection, they can only guard so much when a motorcyclist’s head impacts the ground or collides with a vehicle at high speed. The resultant forces often lead to traumatic head and brain injuries, including:

• Concussions – Temporary loss of normal brain function
• Intracranial Hemorrhaging – Dangerous bleeding inside the skull
• Contusions – Severe brain tissue bruising
• Diffuse Axonal Injuries – Widespread damage to neural connections

The above TBIs require extensive hospitalization, rehab, and therapies to address cognitive damage, physical disabilities, speech/memory loss, and other side effects. Ongoing medical costs are expected even years later.

Spinal Cord Paralysis

The immense stresses placed on a motorcyclist’s spine during a violent crash can fracture vertebrae, crush discs, and sever the spinal cord itself. This frequently results in various degrees of paralysis – eliminating limb function and mobility. Depending on the neurological level of injury, the rider may lose the ability to walk entirely, require wheelchair assistance permanently, and deal with the loss of bowel/bladder control, chronic neuropathic pain, pressure sores, and shortened life expectancy. Their home, vehicle, and career may require disability modifications.

Amputations

Motorcyclists lack the crumple zones and airbags found in cars and trucks. So when a motorcycle is struck by a larger vehicle or collides at speed, the rider’s limbs are painfully vulnerable. Legs and arms end up crushed or severed between colliding forces – necessitating traumatic on-site amputations or sustained hospital operations to remove mangled extremities. The victim faces permanent prosthetic fittings, more surgeries, physiotherapy, accessibility requirements, and total loss of limb function.

I apologize if the above details are emotionally distressing. My intention is not to scare fellow riders or accident victims. However, the motorcycling community needs to know the brutal realities that can occur when things go catastrophically wrong on the roads.
