Motorcycle Accident Attorney in Fort Lauderdale

Motorcyclists are especially vulnerable during accidents involving other motorists, as they do not have the protection of a crumple zone and other safety features that a passenger vehicle provides.

The fact that motorcyclists are 16 times more likely than passenger car occupants to die in a traffic trash, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, is largely attributed to a motorcyclist’s open exposure on the road. Some of the most common injuries that occur during motorcycle accidents include:

• Bone fractures;
• Traumatic brain injuries;
• Spinal cord injuries;
• Disfigurement;
• Loss of limbs;
• Paralysis; and
• Death.

This list is by no means extensive, and you may have experienced these or other injuries.
