Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries & Prevention

Bicycle riders on public roadways in California are protected and regulated by law.

A rider’s risk of being involved in a motorcycle accident hinges on multiple factors that simply can’t be predicted. Experience, road conditions, weather, and the ability of other drivers on the road all play an important part in getting bikers home safely. However, it’s no secret that riding is dangerous. Statistics show that motorcyclists are roughly 40 times more likely to die in a crash than a person driving a car. They’re also more likely to be involved in an injurious accident as well. And roughly 12% of people injured in motorcycle accidents suffer severely, incurring critical life-threatening injuries or debilitating conditions that could potentially leave victims suffering for their entire lives. But what are the most common motorcycle accident injuries? How can these injuries be avoided? And, what can you do if you experience a serious motorcycle accident injury?

Below we’ll walk you through the most common motorcycle accident injuries you’re likely to suffer in the event of a crash. Understanding the types of injuries you’re potentially at risk for can help:

Prevent injuries: Utilize appropriate safety gear.
Spot symptoms: Minimize the risk of long-term disabilities.
Seek treatment: Heal quicker and more effectively.

The Most Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries:

While the thrill of the open road is undeniable, it’s crucial to be aware of the potential consequences. Here’s a breakdown of the most common motorcycle accident injuries

1.Motorcycle Head Injuries

Motorcycle head injuries are among the leading causes of fatalities in motorcycle accidents, especially in California. These injuries are not only caused by direct impacts but can also result from whiplash-type motions. Even if the rider’s head doesn’t directly strike a surface, the sudden motion can cause internal hemorrhaging, concussions, and brain swelling. Traumatic brain injuries (TBI), which can result from blunt force or sharp force trauma, can have lifelong consequences, including paralysis, loss of motor control, and cognitive impairments.

Prevention Tip: Wearing a proper helmet is essential. California’s helmet law isn’t just a legal requirement; it’s a critical safety measure. Helmets can reduce the risk of head and brain injuries by as much as 69%

2. Motorcycle Accident Brain Injuries

Traumatic Brain Injury is not only one of the most common type of motorcycle accident injuries, it’s also one of the most severe. The brain is a very delicate organ and any damage to it can leave victims severely, even permanently disabled.

TBI, as this type of injury is often called, results from trauma to the head or skull. That trauma could be a blunt force (such as a rider’s head striking the pavement) or it could be from sharp force trauma (actual penetration of the skull by vehicle parts or roadside obstacles).

Severe TBI in a motorcycle accident can result in:

Complete or Partial Paralysis
Loss of Motor Control
Learning and Memory Disabilities
Speech Disabilities
Psychological and Emotional Disorders
Personality Changes

Any of these can have a terrible impact on a family, placing financial, emotional, and physical stress on everyone at home (including the victim).

Prevention Tip: One of the most effective ways to protect yourself from TBI is to wear a motorcycle helmet. There is of course a motorcycle helmet law in California, and wearing head protection could potentially reduce the risk of TBI and other head injuries by as much as 69%.

3. Facial Injuries

Facial injuries, while often not life-threatening, can be life-altering. Disfigurement from motorcycle accidents can lead to psychological and emotional trauma.

Prevention Tip: A full-face helmet is one of the best ways to protect your face from injuries in a crash. It not only reduces the risk of severe facial injuries but also provides protection for the head and neck

4. Motorcycle Leg Injuries

The majority of the most common non-fatal motorcycle accident injuries involve damage to the lower extremities—with the majority of those involving injuries to the legs. This accident grouping takes into account multiple injury types including:

Broken bones—The most common type of leg injury suffered by motorcyclists
Amputation—Usually resulting from “major crush injuries” in which a part of the lower body is trapped between two vehicles, between a vehicle and the road, or between a vehicle and any stationary obstacle
Soft Tissue Injuries—This is one of the most common types of injuries to affect the knee joint and can leave riders with a permanent disability.
Foot Injuries—while these types of injuries are one of the least common lower extremity injuries, they can be debilitating. Fractures of the foot and toe bones are the most common type of foot injury suffered by riders

Prevention Tip: Wear protective gear, such as impact-padded riding armor and motorcycle boots. These will help absorb shock and minimize the risk of severe leg injuries during a crash

The Risks Associated with Motorcycle Leg Injuries

Leg injuries can be life-threatening (blood loss, internal bleeding, and infection are all risk factors) However, most will heal over time with medical intervention. That doesn’t mean that injured motorcyclists will ever get “back to normal.” Indeed, injuries can leave riders with permanent chronic pain and reduced mobility for life. These are factors that should be accounted for when calculating a fair motorcycle accident insurance claim or potential lawsuit award.

Protective Gear to Prevent Lower Extremity Injuries

How can you protect yourself from lower extremity motorcycle accident injuries? Wear protective riding gear.

Riding armor (with impact padding) and specifically designed motorcycle boots can dramatically reduce the risk of suffering lower-extremity injuries. Such gear can also reduce the severity of any such injury you do suffer in a motorcycle accident. Unfortunately, if you read through various motorcycle forums, most riders opt not to wear such clothing because it’s either “too expensive” or it’s “too uncomfortable.”

But what price can you put on your longevity? How much is your current quality of life worth to you?

5. Motorcycle Neck and Spinal Injuries

Motorcycle Accident Injuries Leading Cause of Spinal Injuries

According to the Mayo Clinic, motorcycle accidents are the leading cause of spinal injuries in The United States, accounting for over 35% of such injuries nationwide. Spinal injuries, in turn, are the leading cause of paralysis. Indeed, paralysis (complete or partial) is—unfortunately—a “common side effect” of severe neck injuries.

The good news is that many such injuries result in temporary paralysis with victims regaining the use of their limbs when the worst of the damage heals itself. Sometimes that paralysis may require surgical intervention to repair nerves and decrease swelling impinging upon them. However, sometimes that paralysis is permanent.

Such an injury can derail a healthy motorcyclist’s life and leave them struggling to make ends meet, provide for their families, and simply survive. Indeed, any type of paralysis—partial, temporary, or permanent—can be debilitating, keeping motorcycle accident victims from working, engaging with family, or even getting out of bed.

Prevention Tip: Wearing protective gear, such as a neck brace, and being mindful of riding posture can help reduce neck injuries.

Financial Recovery from Paralytic Spinal Injuries

A common motorcycle accident injury involving paralysis often results in a significant insurance settlement or lawsuit verdict because the long-term effects on a victim’s quality of life can be devastating and costly. A good motorcycle accident lawyer will be able to calculate the total monetary value of:

Medical expenses
Long-term treatment
Physical and emotional pain
Lost wages and future financial support

. . . and more in order to create a complete compensation package to help victims recover after such a debilitating accident.

6. Shoulder, Collarbone and Upper Arm Injuries from Motorcycle Accidents

A significant portion of motorcycle-related injuries falls under this category of shoulder, collarbone and upper arm motorcycle accident injuries.

Common injuries from motorcycle accidents in this area include broken collarbones, torn rotator cuffs, dislocated shoulders and humerus fractures. All of these injuries can be classified and fairly serious and should be treated immediately by emergency medical professional. Any of these injuries left untreated could result in permanent nerve damage or worse.

Prevention Tip: Wearing armored jackets and padding on your upper body can help protect your shoulder, collarbone, and arms during a fall.

7. Motorcycle Wrist Injury and Scaphoid Fractures

Because victims of motorcycle accidents often try to catch or brace themselves with their hands when they’re ejected from their bikes, their wrists and hands take a tremendous amount of force during impact.

The wrist is a complex part of the body, and injury to it can cause bone fractures, nerve damage, tendon and ligament tears, and even deformity. Also, the scaphoid bone, which is at the base of your thumb, isn’t technically a part of the wrist, but it is still a very common injury in motorcycle accidents and should be treated immediately.

While most common wrist and scaphoid fractures can be spotted by an X-Ray, sometimes diagnosis is not that easy. Indeed, a good percentage of patients complaining of wrist injuries after a motorcycle accident are told initially that they’re suffering from wrist sprains or strains. Only after the pain fails to dissipate over weeks (or months) and doctors do additional testing do they spot nearly invisible fractures.

Prevention Tip: Use protective gloves and wrist guards designed for motorcyclists to help protect your hands and wrists

8. Biker’s Arm

What is Biker’s Arm?

Biker’s Arm is a catch-all term used to describe multiple injuries that occur when a biker is ejected from their ride and their arm (or arms) comes into contact with the road surface, other vehicles, or roadside obstacles. This term excludes broken bones and joint dislocations but includes muscle and other soft tissue injuries as well as nerve damage.

Biker’s arm motorcycle accident injuries usually occur when a rider is still conscious upon being ejected from their ride. It’s a natural human response to try to break a fall by extending your arms. However, when you’re traveling at speeds higher than 10 or 15 miles per hour, the amount of force your own body weight generates is far too large for your arms to absorb.

Symptoms of Biker’s Arm include:

Swelling
Tingling or numbness in any part of the arm (including fingers)
Loss of feeling in arm, hand, or fingers
Loss of motor control in arm, hand, or fingers
Loss of mobility in arm, hand, or fingers

Treatment of Biker’s Arm

Generally, these symptoms will go away as injuries heal but medical intervention may be required to repair torn ligaments and nerves. Additionally, immediate surgery may be required to reduce swelling that may impinge upon nerves and blood vessels.

Compartment Syndrome is a risk for bikers injured in this fashion. This syndrome involves increased pressure and swelling inside the muscles themselves. Risks of this syndrome include decreased blood flow and even tissue death. The only procedure to treat this potentially lethal syndrome is a fasciotomy. During the procedure, the fascia (membrane surrounding the muscle tissue) is cut open to allow for expansion.

Prevention Tip: Wearing impact-resistant armor for the arms and padded gloves can help absorb the shock and prevent these types of injuries

9. Road Rash

What is it?

“Road rash” is a vernacular term coined to denote abrasion injuries. These types of injuries occur when riders are either ejected from their bikes or are trapped between their bikes and the road. Sliding along rough surfaces like asphalt, concrete, and gravel can shred through most clothing in a second or less leaving the biker’s skin exposed. That abrasive surface then cuts into the skin and tender tissues beneath.

What’s the Risk?

Road rash is one of the most common motorcycle accident injuries riders will suffer. It can vary in severity from a minor injury that heals in days to severe life-threatening wounds that can cause severe bleeding and lead to potentially deadly infections. In addition to blood loss, the insertion of foreign objects like pebbles, sticks, and other forms of debris into the body and the associated bacterial risk can quickly leave motorcycle accident victims struggling for their lives.

Even if your road rash heals properly, you’ll likely be left with scarring which may or may not require reconstructive surgeries, skin grafting, or other long-term treatments.

How Can You Protect Yourself?

Protecting yourself from road rash is one of the easiest things a rider can do. Wearing protective clothing (abrasion-rated pants and shirts, bike armor, and riding boots) can dramatically reduce the risk of suffering road rash even if you’re involved in an accident.

It’s important to keep in mind that regular denim is not strong enough to withstand any contact with asphalt or concrete. In fact, most jeans will only last less than 1 second in standard abrasion testing. Leather fares lightly better in abrasion testing but still falls far behind commercially available alternatives specifically designed to protect soft skin from hard pavement. These options may cost more but can you really put a price tag on pain and suffering?

10. Can’t Sleep after Motorcycle Accident

Although not specifically a motorcycle accident injury, but more of a symptom, insomnia or the inability to sleep after a serious motorcycle accident is very common. This is because motorcycle accidents can be particularly traumatic. Not only physically, but emotionally, a motorcycle accident will take its toll on you. Motorcycle accident victims often suffer severe physical pain, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), anxiety and depression, which all interfere with healthy sleep.

Prevention Tip: Seeking proper medical treatment for both physical and emotional injuries, along with relaxation techniques or medication as prescribed, can help alleviate these sleep disturbances

Risk Factors for Common Types of Motorcycle Injuries

While it’s impossible to calculate an individual’s risk of being involved in a motorcycle accident, there are a number of factors that statistical analysts have pinpointed as major risks for increased injury occurrence and severity.

Rider’s Age

Older riders (40 years old or older) are more at risk for being involved in motorcycle accidents. They’re also at higher risk for life-threatening injuries (such as multiple thoracic injuries including broken ribs, punctured lungs, and internal organ damage).

Motorcycle Size

The larger the bike is (in ccs) the more likely the rider is to suffer motorcycle crashes. The group at the highest of severe motorcycle accident injuries were riders whose machines boasted engines 1000 cc’s or above.

Use of Protective Motorcycle Equipment

Using protective gears such as abrasion-rated clothing, helmets, and impact pads has a significant effect on the likelihood of an individual suffering one of the most common motorcycle injuries even when they’re involved in a crash. Studies have shown that simply wearing a helmet can decrease the risk of dying by over 30%. It can decrease the risk of facial injuries by even more. In addition, abrasion-rated clothing can prevent road rash as it’s designed with withstand sliding on rough surfaces (like pavement) for several seconds.

Your Recovery is a Personal Journey

While it’s helpful to understand common motorcycle injuries, it’s crucial to remember that every accident and every injury is unique. Two riders could experience the same type of injury, yet their recovery journeys, needs, and long-term impacts could be vastly different.

That’s why your recovery plan must be tailored to your individual circumstances. This includes addressing the physical, financial, and emotional aspects of your recovery.

Here’s how to start:

Assess the Impact: Carefully evaluate the full extent of the impact your motorcycle accident has had on your life. This includes:
- Physical: The severity of your injuries, necessary medical treatments, and potential long-term effects.
- Monetary: Medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and other financial losses.
- Psychological: Emotional trauma, pain and suffering, and the impact on your mental well-being.
Seek Legal Guidance: If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle accident that wasn’t your fault, it’s essential to protect your rights. The experienced attorneys at Sally Morin Personal Injury Lawyers can help you:
- Understand your legal options
- Navigate the complexities of insurance claims
- Negotiate with insurance companies
- Pursue fair compensation for your damages
Advocate for Yourself: Throughout your recovery, be your own best advocate. Communicate your needs clearly to your medical providers, insurance adjusters, and legal team.

When I got into my accident I was really not looking for an attorney, however I became frustrated with the other parties insurance company. I then went online and found Sally Morin Law and called for a free courtesy consult. Annie quickly called me back and spent 30 minutes explaining the attorney process. This made my decision easy,,, an All female attorney group certainly did not disappoint. Annie and her team (Amber) were on the case immediately, making calls, sending emails and dealing with the other party insured (or lack of insured). I’m so pleased to have had this incredible team of ladies to help me through this process. They did all their professional expertise, none of which I was capable of. They advocated for me in every way from medical bills, insurance liens, med pay, demand letters, phone calls, emails etc. All I needed to do was send receipts, and most importantly focus on getting better. Thank u team for all u have done. I am grateful for so much,,, and I can say that making that first phone call was the best decision. Keep up the great work and helping others Sincerely KJJ

I was t-boned by someone who ran a red light, totaling my car and sending me to the hospital with multiple breaks to my pelvis, among other smaller injuries. Once released from the hospital, I was confused, angry, and extremely anxious about what to do next. A friend encouraged me to seek legal help, and I found the team at Sally Morin. I was drawn to their all-women team, and immediately felt assured that I was in good hands. They took the reigns on handling everything, leaving me significantly more relieved to rest and heal like my body needed. With their help, the case was settled within four months of the accident, and I can now move forward with my life and leave this behind me. I would absolutely recommend the team at Sally Morin to anyone in a similar situation!

My mom was in a car accident and was badly injured. We wanted her to focus on her recovery without the worries of medical bills and dealing with multiple insurance companies so we hired Sally Morin Lawyers. Fortunately we received Annie Heller who showed strong ownership of the case, dealing with all communications from medical to slow moving insurance companies. Annie and team helped us settle the case with money in my mom’s pocket, but more importantly helped all of us not worry about anything besides my mom’s recovery. thank you!

I just spent the last 8 months working with a team of caring, compassionate, relatable women for my personal injury claim. Brief background: I was hit by a car while riding my bike to work. The driver pulled out of a parallel parking space without looking and was completely at fault. Initially, he and the others in the car were very concerned, but ghosted us afterwards and made up a story in order to not take on the blame. I ended up needing surgery and costs mounted, so I sought legal advice. After much research, I settled on Sally Morin Law. The team at this law firm is invested and responsive in a very personable way. I specifically worked with Carmen and Annie. Carmen took the lead and she answered every email, text, and annoying question my husband and I sent her way. She wrote a detailed demand letter that personalized my case and thoroughly explained the impact the accident had on my life, my children's lives, and my husband's life. In the end, our own insurance policy covered the claim to the fullest amount. Additionally, Carmen was able to negotiate the medical lien to $0, and my husband received a separate smaller amount for loss of consortium. We are more than happy with the results as it’s way beyond what we expected, and completely life changing. We didn't proceed with the case thinking we would have the outcome we did, and almost didn't pursue the case. However, after spending my own money on copays, days off from work, take out, uber rides, babysitters, and special equipment, it just didn't feel right not to seek help and I am so glad that I did! I highly recommend Sally Morin Law!

Highly recommended, they made a painful experience very manageable. Thank you, Rebecca, Carmen, and Amber!

 Verified I can't recommend Rebecca at Sally Morin Personal Injury Lawyers more highly. Rebecca is transparent, honest, and client-centered in a way that was completely different from the other firms I considered. Rebecca broke down what can feel like a very opaque process, and helped me understand my options in an approachable way. It was immediately clear that Rebecca's advice and guidance centered around my personal best interest, not what would make her firm the most money. Thanks Rebecca and team!

 Verified Rebecca and the team at Sally Morin are awesome, plain and simple! Honestly, they were the only legal representation that didn't make me feel slimy after the first conversation. I was thrilled to work with them on my injury case after realizing it was more than I could handle dealing directly with the other party's insurance myself. They advocated for me and my family, going into incredible detail and crafting a great strategy for what to do next. The end result was a pleasant surprise, far exceeding my expectations.

Rebecca and the team definitely earn their share by providing amazing value. They're also no-pressure, which was refreshing compared to other lawyers I contacted before choosing Sally Morin. Their priority was making sure I was always informed and knew exactly what was going on, every step of the way.

If something happens again, Rebecca and Sally Morin will be my first call--and I'm sure there will be a multitude of emails to follow! :P

 Verified My sister got in a car accident, was hit badly by another driver, became unconscious, and was immediately taken to hospital emergency with an internal brain bleeding thus could not defend herself. As a result, the police report had false information from the other driver and concluded my sister at fault. While other legal firms purposed disappeared after seeing at the police report and other driver's cheap insurance policy (not easy win), Sally Morin team with great heart and "no win, no pay" written clause took on the case and successfully reversed both insurance + police reports and won the case. My family is grateful to find Sally Morin firm and great team with legal expertise, experience, and most important great heart. Thank you very much.

Carmen one of her associates worked with me and my mom and handled everything. Carmen was awesome and such a caring lawyer as well. She keeps
It real and we loved that about her. When you need a personal injury attorney that will work on handling your case in every aspect, insurance claims, potential health liens and negotiating on your behalf then Sally Morin Personal Injury law firm is the one to contact. You can count on them. Carmen explained everything so we knew what we were in for and was trustworthy and honest. There is no way to state how invaluable and priceless it is knowing the law firm you hired has your back and can be trusted. I hope no one ever needs a personal Injury attorney because being injured is one of the worst things that can happen to you; your life changes in an instant after a bad accident. But having a law firm like Sally Morin with lawyers like Carmen make that terrible experience much better knowing they are there to handle every aspect of your case and do it so well.
