Motorcycle Accidents

• Seek medical attention
  Motorcycle Accidents rarely leave the people involved unharmed due to the little protection that the vehicle provides, and although most of the injuries are to the legs, there may be many other internal damages that do not show pain due to the adrenaline rush that the accident generates. This is why it is always necessary that a health specialist makes a detailed assessment of the injuries.

• Request a report from the authorities
  Even if a doctor determines on the spot that there are no serious injuries caused by the accident, you should call the police or traffic authorities to make a detailed report of what happened, causes of the accident, involved parties, witnesses, and any other piece of information that may be useful to determine liability and start legal procedures.

• Get a lawyer

EIn the present day, it is far more dangerous to drive a motorcycle than a car. According to Federal Government data, for every mile driven in 2006, there were 35 times more deaths from motorcycle accidents than from car accidents.

The most common damages are the following:

• Internal organ damage
• Fractures
• Brain damage
• Abrasion
• Death
• Disfigurement of any part of the body
• Spinal Cord injury
• Scrapes, burns or bruises on the body caused by the surface of the road

• Driving between lanes
  When a motorcycle driver is exposed to driving between lane separations, he is exposed to multiple risks due to the short distance between cars and the motorcycle, besides maneuvers by car drivers that cannot be anticipated.

• Blind Spots
  When a motorcyclist rides in his vehicle, especially on the highways, he is exposed to the blind spots of large cars and trucks on the road, increasing the likelihood of accidents resulting from the maneuvers involved in driving with poor visibility.

• Inestability
  A motorcycle rider is the person responsible for giving stability to the vehicle. A maneuver that can be affected by factors such as the rider’s expertise, weather conditions and even the quality of the roads, causing emergency braking and deviation.
