Being involved in a crash when you’re on a motorcycle can have catastrophic consequences. It’s possible to suffer a host of injuries. Some of these can be fatal. Others can dramatically change the course of your life.

It’s possible that any area of the body can suffer an injury in this type of wreck. Road rash, broken bones, spinal cord injuries and brain injuries are just some that are possible.

What areas of the body are most likely to be injured?

The leg and foot areas are the most commonly injured in motorcycle crashes. These account for around 30% of all injuries in non-fatal crashes. Following closely behind is the neck and head area, which comprises around 22% of all injuries. Third on the list is the upper trunk area, which is followed by the arms and hands and finally the lower trunk area.

Injuries in any of these areas can range from minor to severe, so it’s best that you undergo an evaluation to determine what’s wrong and to get a treatment plan. There’s a chance that you’ll have to take off work while you heal, which have a negative impact on your income.

If you’re struck by a vehicle while you’re riding a motorcycle, be sure that you get medical care for your injuries. You may also opt to pursue a claim for compensation. This can help to cover the damages that you’re dealing with because of the wreck. Your attorney can help you to determine what damages to claim, but be sure you do this swiftly because time limits apply.

What Our Clients Say

PERSONAL INJURY CLIENT

Sharon Elliott

When I first called their office I was able to speak to a paralegal and an attorney right away. They answered all of my questions. Throughout the process of my case the attorneys were in constant contact with me. I knew every step of the process. The staff and attorneys were very easy to talk to. I was extremely pleased with the outcome. My medical bills were high. They managed to get my doctors to write off a lot of the bills which saved me money. PHL is a great law firm. I highly recommend them to anyone. I promise, you won’t be disappointed.

REAL ESTATE CLIENT

Amber Joye Rosen, Au.D.

I called numerous attorneys, Michael Labbee was not only the only attorney to call me back at all but called me the same day during his personal time. In the consult, he confirmed my rights as a party to this contract, went over all the ramifications the seller would incur by breaking our contract, and went over cost of litigation if that’s the route I needed to take. I felt more empowered at my options. He was not only knowledgeable and to the point, but kind (yet clearly willing to go to bat to people in their place for my rights!).

PERSONAL INJURY CLIENT

Joey Gill

After my accident I contacted Tyler Hayden to get his advice on legal help and he said don’t worry, we can take care of this and that’s exactly what that firm did. From day one I felt comfortable talking to the lawyers and knew they had my best interest. I would 100% recommend Phillips, Hayden, & Labbee to handle your personal injury case. I’m glad I did.
