Common injuries from motorcycle wrecks include:
- Brain injuries
- Head injuries

Tips to Improve Your Motorcycle Crash Claim
Immediately following a motorcycle accident, it is important that you take the necessary steps to protect your claim. Here are some tips on what you should do after a motorcycle accident so you can improve your chances of obtaining a fair recovery.
Obtain Evidence
- You will need photos of the accident, the scene, and your bike
- Get insurance information from the other motorist and contact information from witnesses
- Get a copy of the accident/police report
Follow your doctors orders
- Don't miss doctor's appointments and follow your doctor's treatment. Too many people either fail to seek treatment or discontinue treatment, which can hurt your claim.
Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
While motorcycle riders are taught to drive defensively, accidents can still happen. Many motorcycle crashes are caused by negligent drivers who fail to observe traffic laws.
Motorcycle accidents are often caused by:
- Failing to check blind spots
- Unsafe or illegal left turns
- Defective roadways or defective parts
- Drunk motorists
- Distracted motorists
- Speeding
- Failing to signal when changing lanes
- Drivers tailing motorcycle riders
