Catastrophic injuries are physical injuries that have a significant impact on the victim's life. Often, catastrophic motorcycle accident injuries are life-threatening. Some examples of injuries that may be classified as catastrophic include: head trauma, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, amputation, and burn injury. Any one or more of these may be sustained in a motorcycle accident, depending on the speed and force of impact as well as whether the rider is wearing a helmet and protective clothing.

Ocala Motorcyclists at Increased Risk of Catastrophic Injury

Unfortunately, motorcyclists are automatically at an increased risk of suffering catastrophic injury in an accident. Motorcyclists may also be more likely to be involved in a traffic accident, due to negligent drivers who do not properly observe a motorcyclist's right of way or who do not respect the rules of the road. A motorcycle is much smaller and lighter than a typical passenger vehicle. This means that other motorists may not see a motorcycle until it is too late. It also means that the motorcycle and rider will sustain more damage in the event of a collision.
