Minor Motorcycle Injuries in Orange County

In some accidents, an injured motorcyclist may get off with only minor bumps and bruises. Other minor injuries may include scraps and cuts resulting from the victim sliding on the roadway.

Unfortunately, it is common for motorcyclists to suffer much more serious injuries.

Orange County Motorcycle Accident Statistics

Ownin a riding a motorcycle can definitely help cut down your commute time, especially if there is a considerable amount of traffic on your way to work or place of business. Even school, recreational activities and other trips you make on public or private roadways can pose a massive risk, compared to driving a car.

Why is driving a motorcycle more dangerous than driving a car? Well, for starters, when driving a car, you are (by law) wearing a seatbelt, which will keep you from flying into or through your windshield or other open window in the event of a car accident.

You also have the security of side, above and below airbags, the strength of the car doors and surrounding parts of the interior.

On a motorcycle, it's just you and the road, and other extremely heavy and dangerous vehicles sharing the road with you. While riding a motorcycle, you don't have the securities or protection of a car, which is why motorcycle accident statistics are very high, especially in place like Irvine, CA, in Orange County.

When Motorcycle Injuries are Catastrophic

A catastrophic injury results in a decrease in the victim's quality of life. They may have lost certain physical abilities or suffered a disability from which they may never fully recover.

Many victims of injuries that are considered catastrophic may lose a substantial portion of their earning ability or they may even lose their ability to work completely.

Injuries classified as catastrophic often involve a permanent disability such as an amputation, a devastating back injury that includes damage to the spinal cord or a head injury.

While victims of spinal cord injuries may lose physical ability or feeling below the site of the trauma, head injury victims may also experience a loss in physical and mental abilities.

In such cases, it is important that the victim, or the victim's family, contact an experienced Irvine motorcycle accident lawyer who will help protect their legal rights and best interests.

Seeking Compensation for Your Irvine Motorcycle Accident

It is crucial that anyone suffering from a serious injury or disability contact a skilled Irvine motorcycle accident lawyer who can help determine liability and hold the at-fault party accountable for the crash.

Victims of catastrophic injuries are often offered inadequate settlements that may cover a portion of their losses, but fail to cover future losses.

A knowledgeable personal injury lawyer will consider all past and future medical bills, all lost wages and loss of earning capacity, the costs associated with rehabilitation services, surgical procedures and non-economic losses such as physical pain and mental anguish.

It is important to work with an attorney because acceptance of an inadequate settlement could result in the victim being unable to pursue future compensation for the accident.
