The occurrence of motorcycle accident has been on a rise lately. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported that 8% of motorcycle riders die during crash. It is inevitable process due to the fact that riders do not have adequate protection. Motorbikes have a tremendous horse power and a tiny mistake can lead to serious injuries or even death. Many States implement the helmet law, however, motorcycle accidents continue unabated. Many Hayward Motorcycle Crash Injuries happened because riders did not pay attention to the road conditions.
Types of Motorcycle Accidents
Freeway Hayward motorcycle accidents, versus car and truck. These are very common on congested freeways in a city like Los Angeles. Last week I was there and I have called it: “A jungle of Freeways that take you from one way of the valley to another.” My thought – Los Angeles City Authorities should finally give in and build high speed railways instead and stop profiting from oil industry. It could be done at least on main freeway like 5, 101 and 405. Oops, I am off the topic here and back into a politics. These are common accidents in which the car or truck did not let the motorcycle go and turned straight into its path. Either, they collide with the motorbike or being forced to swerve and crash.
Too many drivers crashed into a motorbike while trying to back up. Many times they just do not see the rider.
Occupants of the vehicle often time make unexpected turn and crash into a motorbike which is passing by and causing some serious injuries
Road debris is a very potential hazard and can cause some serious damage. After all bike has only two wheels and is less stable than a vehicle. Grease, motor oil, loose pavement, uneven concrete, potholes, broken gals, exploded tires, broken exhaust pipes on a freeway etc can cause some serious damage.
The very classic one is when a motor vehicle driver is opening the door without looking in to the side marrow, causing injuries.
Motorbike injuries can range from minor sprain strain to serious fractures or even death. Below is a list of possible injuries that one can sustain:
• Serious skin trauma (often called road rash)
• Torn ligaments
• Broken bones
• Spinal cord injuries
• Paraplegia and quadriplegia
• Serious head and brain injuries
