Injured on a Motorcycle

Have you been injured on a motorcycle when a car pulls out in front of you?  This is one of the most common accidents involving motorcyclists in Orange County.  In most cases, the driver of the car claims they never saw the motorcycle coming, and when they pull out or turn in front of the path of the motorcyclist they leave nowhere to go.  In some cases the biker will attempt to lay down the bike to avoid impact, resulting in broken bones, severe road rash and burns.  When there is not enough time to avoid the collision, the accident may result in severe head injury, a broken back or neck, and other severe injuries. When a serious injury occurs, it may be necessary to create a “Life Care Plan” to ensure that the present and future medical needs and care of the injured victim are taken care of.  These

Back Injuries Caused by Motor Vehicle Accidents

Back Injuries Caused by Motor Vehicle Accidents

Back injuries caused by motor vehicle accidents are often hidden at first, but within days or weeks a person is bedridden and unable to move or work.  This is why it is so important to see a trauma physician (ER or Urgent Care) within 48 hours of any motor vehicle impact.  Even if the impact seemed relatively minor and you believe you are uninjured, the forces involved in any collision exert stress on every joint, organ and sinews of the body. If you do not see a physician for a thorough examination with 48 hours of the motor vehicle accident the responsible insurance company can legally deny what would otherwise be a valid personal injury claim.  Protect your rights. Back injuries caused by motor vehicle accidents are a great example.  The vertebrae of the spine are separated by discs which are flexible and filled with fluid.  Think of a small
