Motorcycle Accidents

Riding a motorcycle can be exhilarating, and many individuals prefer the lower costs compared to driving a full-sized vehicle. However, the risk of getting injured in an accident caused by a third party's fault also increases. Inclement weather conditions, poorly-maintained roads, and inattentive drivers of other vehicles can cause grievous injuries to motorcyclists, and recovery can be a long process often involving expensive medical bills and extensive rehabilitation. A motorcycle accident lawyer at our Anchorage, AK, personal injury firm can seek justice and help you recover maximum compensation for your losses.

Causes and Consequences of Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents can be caused by many factors, including:

  • Distracted or reckless drivers
  • Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
  • Faulty bike parts
  • Inclement weather
  • Badly maintained roads
  • Animals or other obstacles suddenly obstructing the biker's path

Motorcycle riders often sustain catastrophic injuries after an accident, as motorcycles do not come with safety features such as seat belts and airbags. As a result, motorcyclists are for more likely to sustain serious, life-threatening injuries. Common injuries caused by a motorcycle accident include:

  • Head injuries that can range from a mild concussion to traumatic brain injury
  • Neck injury
  • Spinal injury that can affect the victim's mobility
  • Broken or crushed bones
  • Road rash
  • Muscle injury

In the tragic cases, the bike rider may also be killed due to the impact of the accident.
