California Motorcycle Accident Brain Injury Lawyers
Brain Injuries From Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accidents are significantly more likely to result in severe injury or fatality than passenger vehicle collisions. According to the Hurt Report, 75% of all motorcycle accidents involve a collision with a larger passenger motor vehicle. The body of a motorcyclist is much more exposed to potential injury from surrounding environs, increasing the risk of serious brain injury due to head trauma, even with a helmet. Even minor head trauma can have extreme physical, mental, emotional and financial consequences for the victim of a motorcycle accident.
