Citrus Heights Motorcycle Accident Attorney

Motorcycling is a popular means of transportation in Citrus Heights, thanks to its clear weather year-round and long stretches of open roads. However, motorcycling is also the most deadly form of transportation. Riding a motorcycle is 35 times more harmful than driving a car. This leads to almost 5,000 motorcyclists dying annually from an average of 90,000 accidents.

Families suffering from the unexpected and sudden loss of a loved one due to a deadly motorcycle accident may have a wrongful death claim against the vehicle owner that caused the collision. In addition, motorcyclists who sustained injuries following a crash also may have viable negligence claims.

Motorcycle accidents have the potential to cause extremely severe and debilitating injuries. These injuries may be only temporary. However, more often than not, they cause life-long issues. You may experience difficulty with everyday tasks like dressing yourself and making breakfast. In addition, you may find it hard to care for your loved ones, including your spouse and children.

Typical motorcycle accident injuries include:

• Traumatic brain injuries
• Spinal cord and neck injuries
• Chest injuries
• Internal organ injuries
• Broken bones and ribs
• Lacerations, bruises, and road rash
• Disfigurement
• Burns
• Amputations

The leading type of motorcycle crash injury is a traumatic brain injury. Your head is especially vulnerable, so helmet use is recommended while operating a motorcycle. The risk of death increases by 40% if you don't wear a helmet while motorcycling.

In addition, other non-physical injuries may include:

• Loss of ability to work
• Difficulty paying mounting medical bills
• PTSD, emotional pain, and trauma
• Diminished quality of life
• A temporary or permanent disability that forces you to change how you do things

Motorcycle injuries also have a lasting and severe effect on families. If your loved ones rely on you to provide for the family to do something as simple as picking up the kids from school, you may be unable to perform tasks after a motorcycle accident.

We provide a 'personal' personal injury experience at our law firm. Instead of pushing you into a fast settlement, we will sit down with you, review your case, address any concerns, and develop a thorough and appropriate course of action for your needs, goals, and best interests.
