Motorcycle Accident Injuries in Sacramento, California
Have you or a loved one been injured in a motorcycle accident in Sacramento, California? A Sacramento motorcycle accident lawyer at our firm can help.
Even a minor or low-speed motorcycle accident can cause serious injury. A motorcycle, against a typical 4-door passenger car, is facing approximately 3,000 pounds of metal. Even with a proper helmet and protective attire, a motorcyclist is far more likely to sustain serious injury or death in an accident than the driver or passengers of a car or truck. Some injuries a motorcyclist may sustain include:
- Broken and fractured bones
- Road rash
- Burns
- Internal injuries
- Head injury
- Brain injury
- Spinal cord injury
- Neck injury
- Shock
- Loss of consciousness
- Coma
A Sacramento motorcycle accident lawyer can help if you have sustained an injury, minor or serious, as the result of a motorcycle collision. By evaluating the circumstances of your accident and determining the value of your claim, your lawyer can then pursue a fair amount of compensation for the injuries you have suffered. When you have a skilled lawyer at your side, you won't be left high and dry by the insurance company, who may try to offer you a small settlement that won't cover all of your losses.
What To Do in Case of a Motorcycle Accident Injury
If someone is injured in a motorcycle accident, it is important that you do not move them. They may have suffered serious neck or spine injuries that will only become further injured if they are moved, even slightly. Paralyzation may be caused by moving an injured motorcyclist or by removing his or her helmet. The only time to move an injured person after a motorcycle crash is if they are in imminent danger where they currently are (for example, if they are close to a vehicle that is on fire, or in a similar situation.) Call 911 as soon as possible in order to help those who have suffered injury obtain medical attention immediately.
