Unfortunately, motorcycle drivers and their passengers are especially at risk of sustaining serious injuries when they are involved in an accident. Accidents which may cause only minor injuries to the occupants of a car could prove fatal to the occupants of a motorcycle. Even in non-fatal accidents, broken bones, traumatic brain injuries and paralysis may result. In serious motorcycle accidents, it is especially important to have a knowledgeable attorney who can prove not only fault for the accident, but also how devastating the resulting injuries can be.
Sometimes even the most serious injuries are not readily apparent to outside observers. Accident victims with mild to moderate traumatic brain injuries, for instance, often have no visible injuries, and communicate and act as if they are perfectly healthy. While such TBI victims may appear fine, they are usually just a shell of their former selves. TBI victims can be plagued with severe cognitive difficulties, such as the failure to remember conversations that took place just minutes earlier, and difficulty staying focused and organized. The frustration caused by these cognitive difficulties can often lead to serious emotional and psychological problems which may never resolve.
