Motorcycle Accidents in Alabama

Mobile, AL - Motorcyclist Injured in Crash on US 90 at McDonald Rd Motorcycle crashes in Alabama are often severe due to the lack of physical protection for riders. The Alabama Department of Transportation reports that in recent years, motorcyclists accounted for a disproportionate number of traffic fatalities statewide. On average, more than 1,800 motorcycle accidents are reported each year in Alabama, resulting in hundreds of injuries and dozens of lives lost. Many of these accidents happen at intersections or when visibility is limited, placing riders at high risk.

Understanding the common injuries associated with motorcycle accidents may help riders stay informed:

  • Head Injuries: Even with helmets, riders often sustain traumatic brain injuries. These injuries can range from concussions to long-term cognitive impairment. Quick medical intervention is crucial for reducing long-term impact.
  • Road Rash: When riders are thrown from their bikes, friction with the pavement can cause severe skin abrasions known as road rash. These injuries often require wound care and can lead to permanent scarring.
  • Spinal Cord Injuries: Damage to the spinal cord can lead to partial or complete paralysis. Even with protective gear, the force of impact in a motorcycle crash can be devastating to the spine.
  • Fractures and Broken Bones: Legs, arms, and wrists are especially vulnerable during a crash. Broken bones may require surgery and long rehabilitation periods.
  • Internal Injuries: The force of an impact can cause damage to internal organs. These injuries might not show immediate symptoms but can become life-threatening if not treated quickly.
