Motorcycle Accidents in New Jersey
Motorcycle accidents in New Jersey are an unfortunate reality and often lead to serious injuries due to the lack of protection for riders. According to state statistics, motorcyclists account for a significant portion of traffic-related fatalities despite representing a smaller fraction of road users. These accidents commonly result in severe consequences, especially when larger vehicles like trucks are involved. As a result, it’s important to understand the risks and legal rights involved following such incidents.
In today’s article, we explore common injuries associated with motorcycle accidents and how they can impact victims long-term:
- Road Rash: Road rash occurs when a rider is thrown from the motorcycle and slides across the pavement. This injury can range from mild abrasions to deep wounds that require skin grafts. Long-term complications may include nerve damage and scarring.
- Fractures and Broken Bones: Limbs are especially vulnerable in motorcycle crashes. Fractures often occur in the legs, arms, ribs, and collarbones. These injuries may require surgery and months of rehabilitation, affecting a victim’s ability to work or perform daily activities.
- Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs): Even with a helmet, motorcyclists can suffer TBIs during collisions. These injuries can impair memory, concentration, and motor function. Severe TBIs might lead to permanent cognitive disabilities and emotional changes.
- Spinal Cord Injuries: Damage to the spinal cord can cause partial or full paralysis. These injuries are life-altering and typically demand long-term care, home modifications, and assistive technology to improve quality of life.
- Internal Injuries: Internal bleeding and damage to organs may not be immediately obvious but are often life-threatening. Quick diagnosis and surgical intervention are necessary to prevent fatalities.
- Psychological Trauma: Many survivors experience anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Mental health care is an important part of recovery that should not be overlooked.
