The Hazards and Outcomes of Broadside Motorcycle Collisions

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2014, there were 4,586 motorcyclist fatalities in the United States. Several of these events included the victim becoming broadsided.

General motor vehicles have what is called crumple zones that serve to absorb some of the energy and force of an impact in the event of a crash. As you know, motorcyclists have no such security – no seatbelts, side curtains, or airbags. Motorcyclists are totally exposed to the elements, which makes them the most prone motorists on the road and, in some cases results in serious injury and even death. While, helmets, pads, and protective do help to improve a motorcyclist’s survivability; such protection is entirely ineffective in severe accidents.

A broadside collision can cause a motorcyclist to stagger into the pathway of oncoming vehicles, or forcefully overthrow them sideways, smashing their head and body upon the ground or other static objects. It is not uncommon for victims of broadside motorcycle collisions to endure spinal cord injuries and traumatic that are frequently catastrophic in character and require long-term treatment, therapy, and home health care. Other frequent injuries include shoulder injuries, amputation, pelvic fractures, burns, and hip dislocation. The resultant troubles of an unfortunate incident can be destructive to those who were dependent on the victim and disunite their future security. The sensitive and mental result can be significant as well.

Whatever the case may be, it is extremely advised that victims discuss their accident with a skilled personal injury attorney as soon as they can, to protect their rights to a complete and appropriate payment for all damages.
