When people suffer lacerations as a result of motorcycle accidents, they have to worry about infections. It’s easy to develop an infection from a laceration since the bacteria and debris from the object enters the wound. This can include tetanus disease for accident victims who have not received tetanus shots in the previous five years.
The severing of tendons, ligaments, and nerves is another cause for concern with deep, complicated lacerations. If this happens, motorcycle accident victims can lose the function of the body part and might experience extreme pain. It is also likely they’ll need surgery to repair the damaged tendons or ligaments.
