Vehicle Accidents Are A Leading Cause of Brain Injuries
Vehicle accidents including motorcycle accidents are one of the most common causes of brain injuries, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Even motorcycle riders who obey traffic safety laws and drive defensively are at greater risk of brain injuries because of the open design of motorcycles. If a careless driver fails to see a motorcycle, the motorcyclist may suffer serious head injuries, including brain injuries.
Motorcycle riders who have traumatic brain injuries often have trouble concentrating and suffer from impaired judgment, communication difficulties, seizures, vision problems, speech impairments, and fatigue. After a traumatic brain injury, long-term rehabilitation is often essential. As a patient with a brain injury, you may need basic physical therapy to recover motion in an injured limb or to recover bladder control. You may need to learn new occupational skills to have a productive life.
In Missouri, all motorcycle riders are required to wear a helmet. But only riders age 17 and younger are required to wear a helmet in Kansas. Of the people who died in motorcycle accidents in Kansas, 75 percent were not wearing helmets. For all riders, wearing a helmet is a smart idea to prevent serious brain injury or a fatal accident. In a motorcycle crash, an unhelmeted rider is 40 percent more likely to die from a head injury than a rider wearing a helmet, according to the Centers for Disease Control.
If you or a loved one faces a long-term recovery from a brain injury, you shouldn’t have to worry about where you’ll get the money to pay medical bills and therapy costs. 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 caused and should pay maximum compensation. We have a track record of successful advocacy on behalf of injured clients that has earned the respect of our peers.
