Types of Motorcycle Accident Injuries in Columbus

In a motorcycle accident, the rider has no protection from injury other than a helmet and special clothing, if he or she is wearing them. The law does not make it mandatory for riders over the age of 18 to wear a helmet. With or without personal gear, however, serious injuries to motorcycle riders can be catastrophic.

Broken bones, especially in the arms and legs
Road rash and traumatic tattooing
Skull fractures
Traumatic brain injuries
Spinal cord injuries
Internal organ injuries

An injured motorcyclist in an accident could suffer permanent paralysis, brain damage, loss of organ function, or disfigurement. Although a successful claim will not reverse these injuries, it can provide financial stability to the victim while paying for expensive medical costs. If you lost a loved one in a motorcycle accident wreck, you may be eligible to file a wrongful death claim.

What Causes Motorcycle Wrecks?

Motorcycle accidents can be caused by a wide range of reasons:

Negligent and distracted drivers
Speeding and reckless driving
Drunk driving
Defective motorcycle parts
Unsafe road conditions
Hazards such as potholes or loose gravel
Dangerous weather

Regardless of who or what you believe caused your recent motorcycle accident, contact a Columbus personal injury attorney to discuss your rights. A motorcycle accident lawyer can gather evidence of negligence, such as photographs of the scene or eyewitness accounts, to help build your case and seek maximum compensation.

How is Fault Determined in a Motorcycle Accident?

Liability refers to legal responsibility for the accident and any resultant damages. Part of a personal injury lawyer’s job is to determine the liable party in an accident claim. The liable party is the one most responsible for the crash. The motorcycle accident would not have occurred but for the liable party’s actions. Proving liability will take establishing a duty of care, a breach of duty, causation, and damages. A lawyer can take this burden of proof for you.
