About 98% of motorcycle accidents with other vehicles result in injuries of some type. The most frequent types of injuries in a Texas motorcycle accident include:
* Road rash,
* Facial disfigurement,
* De-gloving injuries,
* Head injuries,
* Brain traumas,
* Neck and back injuries (including spinal cord injuries causing permanent paralysis),
* Broken bones,
* Internal organ damage,
* Burns,
* Decapitation, and
* Other amputations.
You can prevent or mitigate some injuries by use of a good motorcycle helmet and other protective clothing and gear. You can even purchase a personal airbag (though it’s not clear how much good these do for a biker). But on a motorcycle, you will always have more exposure to injury and fatality dangers from a crash than occupants of enclosed vehicles. Basically, on your bike you have no real outside protection from the hazards of the road. And most wrecks will eject you from your vehicle to suffer severe impact injuries, burns, and “road rash” at the very least.
