Motorcycle Accident Back and Spinal Cord Injuries
Kansas City, Missouri, and Kansas Motorcycle Injury Lawyers
Among the most serious injuries that motorcycle riders can suffer in motorcycle accidents are spinal cord injuries. Because of the open design of motorcycles, motorcyclists are vulnerable to spinal cord injuries in collisions with automobiles and trucks. Spinal cord trauma can occur if a motorcycle rider’s head, neck or back is twisted or flexed abnormally, causing pulling or compression of the spinal cord.
If you or a loved one has suffered a back injury or spinal cord injury in a motorcycle accident, you need an aggressive motorcycle accident lawyer who will stand up for your legal rights.

Vehicle Accidents Are A Leading Cause of Back Injuries
In 2009, more than 2000 motorcycle drivers and passengers were injured in accidents in Missouri, according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol. In Kansas, motorcycle accidents caused more than 1,000 injuries. Unfortunately, back and spinal injuries are common injuries suffered by motorcycle riders.
An analysis of more than 1,100 motorcycle accidents by researchers in Great Britain found that 11 percent of the motorcyclists suffered spinal injuries, including thoracic spinal injuries and cervical spine injuries. Injuries to the thoracic spine, the middle part of the spinal column, are most common in motorcycle accidents. Compared to automobile accident victims, motorcycle riders have more severe injuries, more trauma to extremities and a pattern of spinal injuries consistent with forced hyperflexion of the middle and upper section of the spinal column.
Depending on the location of the injury, spinal cord injuries can affect the arms and legs, and cause pain, numbness, loss of bladder control and paralysis. Extensive rehabilitation may be required to recover from a serious back injury or spinal cord injury. After a serious accident, you should focus on your health and let an experienced motorcycle accident attorney handle the rest.
The aggressive motorcycle accident attorneys at the Potts Law Firm believe that the at-fault driver and their insurance company should be held fully accountable for the harm they cause and should pay maximum compensation. We have a track record of successful advocacy on behalf of injured clients.
