Injuries in an Indian Rocks Beach Motorcycle Accident
- Road rash—Serious road rash (lacerations) can occur even if the motorcycle crash victim was wearing full leathers or other protective clothing. Road rash is not only incredibly painful, it takes a significant time to heal and can cause permanent scarring.
- Concussion—A concussion is classified as a mild to moderate brain injury, despite the possibility that it can leave the victim with lingering effects, impacting their ability to work or care for their family, for months.
- Traumatic brain injury—A TBI causes long term or even permanent brain damage, resulting in loss of cognitive function, changes in mood, sleeplessness, behavioral changes, and more. TBIs are a dangerous, and often fatal, condition.
- Spinal cord injury—A spinal cord injury is one of the worst types of injuries a motorcycle victim can sustain. A complete injury causes permanent paralysis to the affected region, while an incomplete injury may leave the victim with some feeling and movement in the affected region.
- Fractured vertebrae—It is possible to break a vertebrae in the neck or back and not suffer a spinal cord injury. A fractured vertebrae causes pain and immobility, and may require surgery to fuse the joint.
- Fractured limb—Fracturing a limb or collarbone is a very common injury in motorcycle crash victims. The severity of a broken limb can range from moderate to severe, with the most severe cases requiring multiple surgeries and potentially leading to loss of strength and mobility.
- Fractured hip—When a motorcycle victim crashes, they often land directly on their side, with the hip bone taking the brunt of the impact. This can cause a minor fracture or the complete destruction of the hip joint.
- Soft tissue injuries—Torn and strained muscle, tendon, and ligaments are all forms of soft tissue damage, including whiplash.
