Washington Motorcycle Injury Lawyers
Motorcycle accident injuries can be one of the most severe types of injuries a person can sustain. Because most motorcycle accidents are caused by negligence or fault of another driver they may be fully covered. Coverage can include medical expenses, pain and suffering, therapies, medical aids or other devices, loss of work and more. Depending on the severity or nature of the injuries sustained, the coverage can be particularly significant. Contact a Seattle motorcycle injury attorney at Bernard Law Group for a free consultation and find out what types of expenses may be recovered for you after your Seattle Washington motorcycle accident.
One of the most damaging forms of injury comes when a motorcyclists head comes into contact with the ground or some other object. This can result in a concussion or other injury to the spine and may lead to paralysis or even death. Because a concussion may not be readily apparent after a Seattle motorcycle accident it is strongly suggested that all persons on the bike do not move at all until paramedics arrive on the scene. Concussions are also known as mild traumatic brain injuries and they are the most common form of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Symptoms from all the varying degrees of traumatic brain injuries can take weeks to develop and careful and thorough medical monitoring is highly suggested.
More serious TBIs can result in full body paralysis and death. A person suffering from a TBI following a Washington motorcycle accident faces lifelong medical expenses which may include physical therapy and medical assistive devices, such as electronic wheelchairs. The risk of developing other diseases such as mental illness, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and dementia is much higher among people who have suffered a traumatic brain injury as compared to others who have not. Thorough medical attention should always be received even if the cyclist appears unharmed.
Other common forms of injuries following a Washington motorcycle accident include fractured bones, especially among the arms, neck, shoulders, pelvis, back, and legs. Skin injuries are often sustained after a motorcycle accident. One of the most common forms of skin injury is known as road rash and it occurs when some exposed skin is violently scraped across a road's surface after the accident. These injuries can lead to severe scarring of the tissue, the need for tissue replacement or plastic surgery, hospitalization and more.
