Common Internal Injuries from a Motorcycle Accident

Common internal injuries from a motorcycle accident include penetrating injuries, brain injuries, and internal bleeding. When a motorcyclist absorbs impact from an oncoming vehicle, hits the pavement, or suffers devastating injuries in another way, there is a high risk of serious injuries.

Internal injuries can be life-threatening for several reasons. If you have been in a bike crash, you must seek immediate and in-depth medical care. You may also hire a Louisiana motorcycle accident lawyer to handle your pursuit of maximum compensation.

Internal Injuries from a Motorcycle Accident Can Be Life-Threatening

StatPearls explains that “head, neck, and abdominal injuries are expectations” for motor vehicle accident victims. Motorcycle accidents, which can be more severe than motor vehicle accidents, may also cause serious internal injuries.

Internal injuries that may be especially dangerous include:

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

Brain injuries are among the most common injuries from motorcycle accidents because motorcyclists’ heads—even with a safety helmet on—are exposed to direct contact. A brain injury can be catastrophic, potentially causing:

  • Permanent brain damage
  • Memory problems
  • Personality and mood disorders
  • Sensitivity to light, sound, and other stimuli
  • A coma
  • Death
  • Other symptoms that significantly interfere with one’s quality of life

Mayo Clinic explains that some brain injuries heal, while others cause permanent damage. The nature and severity of your traumatic brain injury from a motorcycle accident will determine the value of your insurance claim or lawsuit.

Spinal Cord Injury

The spine is a complex, essential part of the body. Injury to the vertebrae, nerves, and other components of your spine can potentially cause:

  • Intense pain
  • Chronic pain
  • Numbness in extremities
  • Coordination problems
  • Paralysis

Few injuries can be as devastating as a serious spinal cord injury. If you or a loved one has suffered a spinal injury, we will seek financial compensation for medical care, rehabilitation, and all other injury-related expenses.

Injuries to Vital Organs

While every part of your body serves a purpose, the five vital organs are essential. You may be in grave danger if you suffer injuries to these organs, which include your:

  • Heart
  • Lungs
  • Brain
  • Kidneys
  • Liver

Punctures and other trauma can cause internal organ damage. Such injuries can be life-threatening and expensive to treat.

Internal Bleeding

Some motorcycle accidents cause internal bleeding, which may result from trauma to one or more blood vessels. This may cause blood to collect in your body and result in other health complications.

Any blood loss injury requires immediate medical attention. It is challenging to know what your injuries are or what treatment you need if you do not receive a thorough medical exam.

Fatal Injuries

There are many traumatic injuries from motorcycle accidents that can claim the victim’s life. If your loved one suffered a fatal injury, a Louisiana wrongful death lawyer from our firm will seek justice for your loss.

Motorcycle riders can also seek payment for any physical injury from the accident and nerve damage, compound fractures, facial fractures, skull fractures, and other injuries.

A Lawyer Will Seek Compensation for Bike Accident-Related Injuries

You can hire an attorney to seek fair compensation for your motorcycle accident. A motorcycle accident lawyer from our team will:

Value the Cost of Your Damages

We will measure the cost of your motorcycle crash, including damages caused directly by your injuries. Your damages may be uncommonly expensive if:

  • You suffered serious or disabling injuries.
  • You require long-term medical care.
  • You are unable to work for a significant period of time.
  • You have significant psychological or emotional symptoms.
  • You lose a loved one.

Before we negotiate a settlement, we will be certain that the settlement target is correct.

Identify Liable Parties

Our motorcycle accident attorney will identify those who owe you compensation, which may include:

  • Another motorist
  • A motor vehicle or motorcycle manufacturer
  • A municipality responsible for dangerous road conditions
  • Another party who contributed to the motorcycle collision

We will investigate the accident and determine whose negligence caused the collision.

Demand that Liable Parties Pay a Fair Settlement

Our attorneys will meet with liable parties, present our calculation of your damages, and demand the settlement you are entitled to.

Take Your Motorcycle Accident Case to Trial If Necessary

If liable parties will not offer a fair settlement, we will be ready for trial. Our firm’s record of settlements and verdicts shows we thrive in both negotiating rooms and courtrooms.

Manage Every Other Aspect of Your Case

When you hire our personal injury law firm to represent you, you can focus on your health while we will take care of every detail of your case, including:

  • Fact-gathering
  • Evidence-gathering
  • Paperwork
  • Communications (with insurers and others involved in your case)

Our lawyers and paralegals are detail-oriented legal professionals who always aim to win. When you need financial recovery after a bike crash, turn to Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers to lead your case.

What Damages Can a Motorcycle Accident Victim Receive Compensation for?

We will work with you, your doctors, and possibly other experts to identify your accident-related damages. A motorcycle accident can cause:

  • Property expenses: If you need motorcycle repairs or face any other property-related expenses, we will include those bills in your case.
  • Pain and suffering: We will consider any physical pain, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other pain and suffering resulting from your motorcycle accident.
  • Loss of income: If you lose income, lose earning power, miss bonus and promotion opportunities, or suffer any other professional damages because of your motorcycle accident, we will value the cost of such damages.
  • Medical bills: We will seek compensation for emergency transport, hospital services, doctor’s appointments, and other medical services you need after the accident.

Our team approaches each case as a blank slate. We will speak with you, contact your doctors, and take all other necessary steps to identify and value your damages.

The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.
