Motorcycle Accidents in Texas
Motorcycle accidents often result in severe or fatal injuries because riders have far less protection than drivers in enclosed vehicles. In Texas, motorcycle crashes are an unfortunate but common reality. According to the Texas Department of Transportation, hundreds of motorcyclists lose their lives each year on Texas roads, while thousands more suffer life-changing injuries. Riders face additional dangers from distracted drivers and vehicles that fail to yield the right of way.
Learning about the types of injuries common in motorcycle accidents can help families understand what victims may face during recovery:
-
Head and Brain Injuries: Even with a helmet, motorcyclists are at risk for concussions and traumatic brain injuries. These injuries can lead to memory loss, cognitive issues, or long-term disability.
-
Spinal Cord Injuries: A sudden impact can damage the spine, sometimes resulting in partial or full paralysis. Victims may require lifelong care, physical therapy, and mobility aids.
-
Fractures and Broken Bones: Motorcycle riders often suffer broken arms, legs, or ribs during a collision or from being thrown from the bike. Recovery can involve multiple surgeries and extensive rehabilitation.
-
Road Rash and Lacerations: Sliding along the pavement can cause deep abrasions that may get infected or lead to permanent scarring. Protective gear helps but does not eliminate this risk.
-
Internal Injuries: Blunt force trauma can cause internal bleeding or organ damage, which may not be immediately apparent but can be life-threatening without urgent medical care.
