Catastrophic Injuries & Motorcycle Accidents

Gainesville Motorcycle Injury Attorneys

Almost any motorcycle accident may result in catastrophic injury. According to 2007 statistics compiled by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), motorcyclists were about 9 times more likely to suffer injury and 37 times more likely to lose their lives in motorcycle accidents than occupants of other vehicles. In 2008 alone, 5,290 motorcyclists lost their lives and 96,000 were injured in motorcycle accidents throughout the U.S.  Catastrophic injuries from motorcycle accidents may include: traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, burn injuries, and amputation.

Motorcycle accident injuries are often more severe because a motorcycle and its rider are of a much smaller size and weight than other motor vehicles that share the road. In the event of a collision, the smaller mass is far more likely to sustain serious damage.
