The recent devastating multi-vehicle collision in the Bovaird Drive and Great Lakes Drive area in Brampton resulted in serious injuries to a motorcyclist. The injured victim was in a critical condition and had to be airlifted to a trauma center. When such catastrophic accidents happen, contact a   Brampton motor vehicle accident lawyer without delay. Accidents are usually caused by someone’s fault or negligence and the injured are entitled to compensation from those responsible for the accident. This can be achieved by filing a personal injury claim that runs parallel to any criminal case that is filed by the police.

Typical Injuries Sustained in Motorcycle Accidents

Injuries sustained by motorcycle riders can be extremely serious, resulting in injuries ranging from broken bones to amputation, traumatic brain injury, neck/head/spine damage, internal organ damage, bleeding, paralysis, disability or death. Apart from blows to the head, there are chances of being injured by flying glass, twisted metal, burns etc. Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) are common in motorcycle accidents, and they can dramatically raise hospital and medical treatment costs. They require lengthy hospitalization, specialist medical care and long-term absence from work. Rehabilitation and continuing therapy may be required. The person may have to deal with permanent immobility, loss of memory, muscle control, concentration problems, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, fears/anxiety, insomnia, etc. These factors make it difficult to get life back on track for the injured and their families. An experienced traumatic brain injury lawyer can ensure that victims receive the right medical treatment immediately.

Why Are Motorcycle Injuries More Serious?

Motorcycles leave the riders more exposed than if they were inside a car or truck. Bikes lack standard safety features of automobiles – airbags, seat-belts etc. and the only protection they provide is based on whether the rider wears a helmet and/or protective clothing. The size of a bike makes it difficult for drivers inside cars or trucks to notice them and the slightest touch is sufficient to throw the two-wheelers off balance. When automobile drivers change lanes, they may fail to notice bikes in their path. In multi-vehicle collisions, bike riders are the most vulnerable of all.

Most of us assume that bike riders are daredevils and risk-takers, but in fact, studies have shown that bike riders’ behavior on the road seldom causes accidents. Negligent car drivers on Ontario roads may cause more serious accidents when they collide with a bike rider in their path.  A personal injury attorney who is experienced in handling motorcycle accidents can assist injured victims and their families to get satisfactory compensation from those responsible for the accident.
