Road Rash - Dropping Your Bike and Road Contact at Higher Speeds

This is caused when skin comes in contact with gravel, concrete, or asphalt. Road rash can result in mild scraping or life-altering disfigurement.

Fractures - Motorcycle Collisions and Auto Accidents

Broken bones are one of the most common injuries resulting from motorcycle accidents, requiring a lengthy and sometimes painful recovery period.

Spinal Cord Injury - Serious Injury from Motorcycle Accidents with Other Vehicles

In most cases, spinal cord injuries are permanent and can cause numbness, partial loss of motion, paraplegia, or quadriplegia.

Traumatic Brain Injury - Head Injuries From Not Wearing a Helmet or Wearing Inadequate Helmets

Traumatic brain injury, or TBI, most often occurs in victims who were not wearing a helmet at the time of the motorcycle accident.

Disfigurement - Major Physical Damage Resulting from Collision
