Head Injuries
While motorcycle accidents can cause many life-threatening injuries, one of the leading causes of fatal motorcycle accidents – according to the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration (NHTSA) – is head injuries, including traumatic brain injuries (TBIs).
- More than 80 percent of all motorcycle accidents lead to the motorcyclist suffering a serious injury or death.
- Head injuries are a leading cause of death in motorcyclists.
- TBIs are among the some of the most serious and most expensive injuries a victim you can have.
- A brain injury can lead to permanent disability and a lifetime of the medical expenses that go along with that.
