After a motorcycle accident it is important to speak with an experienced personal injury attorney to help fight for the compensation you deserve. The amount of money you are awarded in an accident claim in New Jersey could significantly alter your life both now and in the future. The injuries may be so serious that treatment may be required in the coming months and years. Injury victims may be left with disability or deformities, so any compensation must take into account the potential need for ongoing medical care, surgeries, and physical therapy.

Here are just a few of the horrifying wounds that can necessitate more than just a trip to the ER:

• Blunt Force Trauma: As motorcycle riders don’t have any walls or roofs to protect them, they may be subjected to extremely strong pressures. The rider may sustain many injuries as a result of multiple collisions with the car and the road. Internal organs may rupture as a result of this trauma, which may also harm the soft tissue that holds organs and other bodily parts in place.
• Chest Injuries: Broken ribs and other chest bones can make it difficult to breathe. Damage to the heart and esophagus is possible. Even kidney damage might result from a hit to the back.
• Concussion/Brain Injury: Headaches, seizures, and vomiting are symptoms of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Victims of more severe injuries may lose their memory.
• Bone Fractures: The driver of the motorcycle may sustain serious injuries to the neck, skull, and face. Broken bones around the eyes or jaw can cause loss of vision or damage to your jaw or missing teeth. Permanent deformity may result from any one of these wounds. A biker can instinctively extend their hands and arms to defend themselves when they are thrown from their bike. You can leave fractured fingers, wrists, and elbows.
• Road Rash: Serious abrasions can harm skin and necessitate skin transplants. Injuries that require skin transplants often result in permanent disfigurement of the area. Riders on motorcycles run the danger of developing severe road rash in an accident. When a rider is flung from their bike and slides along the road, they develop road rash. Clothing layers below the skin’s surface can be burned, torn, and worn away by the ensuing friction. Thermal burns, lacerations, avulsions, and abrasions are all simultaneously caused by severe road rashes. The risk of infections that could be fatal is increased when dirt and filth from the road surface lodge in the skin.
