Head Injuries Can Be Devastating To Motorcyclists And Bicyclists

Head injuries can happen in any type of traffic accident, but they are particularly common in motorcycle and bicycle accidents. During the latest boarding year across the state, there were more than 272,000 total traffic accident injuries, according to the California Office of Traffic Safety. Out of these, there were more than 11,300 bicyclist injuries and nearly 14,000 motorcyclist injuries.

Even when a motorcyclist or a bicyclist is wearing a helmet, they are still susceptible to severe head injuries and the event a collision occurs. There are various types of head injuries they can occur in these incidents, including:

• Open head wounds. This can include severe lacerations to the face and head as well as skull fractures and other soft tissue damage.
• Brain injuries. These injuries are likely to occur if the crash victim sustains a severe blow to the head. The severity of the injuries can range from relatively minor (concussions) to severe. Those who sustain severe brain injuries could suffer from serious long-term impairments, including:
  • Cognitive difficulties and memory loss
  • Recurring seizures or convulsions
  • Loss of fine motor skills
  • Difficulty walking, talking, and swallowing
  • Drastic changes in mood
  • Loss of coordination
  • Possible paralysis

Any type of head injury in a traffic crash requires immediate medical assistance. In many cases, head injury victims need long periods of time to recover and may not be able to return to living the same lifestyle they were accustomed to before the incident.

• Coverage of all injury-related medical bills
