Head Injuries due to Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle riders are independent people. Whether you ride a Kawasaki sport bike or a Futura street bike, chances are you value the sense of power that riding offers.

Why Head Injuries Happen

Unfortunately, however, invincibility isn't part of the biking package. No matter how responsible the biker, motorcycle accidents can happen.

Recent studies have shown that head injuries are the number one cause of death or serious injury among motorcycle accident victims. While our law firm always respects a biker's right to freedom of choice, neglecting to wear a helmet can increase your chances of sustaining a head injury.

How Head Injuries Affect Injured Bikers

Head injuries can involve anything from a minor scalp scrape to a severe and devastating traumatic brain injury (TBI).

An open head injury occurs when there is a fracture or penetration of the skull. A closed head injury does not involve penetration but occurs when there is a rapid acceleration or deceleration of the head, leading to widespread damage to the brain and extensive neurological defects.
