As we mentioned above, motorcyclists are at a higher risk for catastrophic injuries. This is because motorcycles do not offer the protection of a steel frame that surrounds the driver. Even the smallest lapse in attention on the part of another driver can result in disaster.
There are a wide range of injuries that can result from motorcycle accidents. These injuries can be broken down into the following categories:
Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
Facial injuries
Neck or spine injuries
Broken bones
Amputations
Whiplash
Scarring
