Motorcyclists are more vulnerable than users such as cars, vans and lorries, and are likely to experience more severe injuries. That is due to the lack of exterior protection they possess. That means that if involved in a road traffic accident, they are more likely to face more severe injuries, with long term consequences. There are different types of injuries that motorcyclists can face from road traffic accidents, which can vary from mild to severe; if you have experienced any sort of injury due to no fault of your own, contact our experienced solicitors now and start a successful claim.
Road Rash
Due to the lack of exterior protection you possess as a motorcyclist, you are more likely to experience direct damage to your skin, due to skidding across the road or pavement after falling off your bike. Road rash occurs as a long term effect after these kinds of injuries. Bikers may also experience burns, lacerations and bruising. That is why it is essential to wear protective gear, denim protection will not always be enough, specialists advise motorcyclists to wear leather pants and jackets, and knee pads and protective gear is advised.
Head Injuries
Even though legally, riders must wear a protective helmet when riding a motorbike, head injuries can still be experienced when they are involved in a high impact accident. All head injuries can be life-threatening, and even the mildest concussions should be looked at by a medical professional. Experienced head injuries can be mild to severe; if you have experienced a head injury, contact one of our experienced personal injury solicitors now.
Fractures
Due to the lack of exterior protection that motorcyclists possess, it is possible to experience fractures after a road traffic accident. Broken legs, arms and wrists are not life-threatening but can stop you from performing daily tasks and attending work. If you have experienced fractures from a motorcycle accident, we highly advise you to contact one of our experienced solicitors at Solicitors On Your Side Scotland.
