Although a motorcycle is a fun and gas-efficient way to travel the Houston roads, it is also dangerous. Even when a rider dons protective gear, a motorcycle accident can be devastating. Motorcycle riders are less visible to car or truck drivers, especially to those who are driving distractedly or negligently. If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident at the hands of another party’s negligence, it is important that you contact a personal injury lawyer to help you recover compensation for damages.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a motorcycle accident, call Zinda Law Group at (888)-659-9392 for a 100% free case evaluation with our Houston motorcycle accident attorneys.

COMMON INJURIES IN MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS
Injuries from a motorcycle accident may be severe, and even life-threatening. Victims who survive these accidents may suffer debilitating injuries, including:
- Head injuries. The severity of a head injury could vary from a bump or a cut to a concussion or traumatic brain injury. A helmet and eye protection should reduce the chance of a brain injury, and also keep a fall from causing more than a concussion.
- Road rash. Road rash is an injury sustained when a rider slides across the pavement after a wipeout or flies over the handlebars following an impact. If the clothing is thin enough, the pavement may scrape through the layers of clothing, reaching the skin underneath.
- Biker’s arm. It’s human instinct to stretch the arms forward to lessen an impact. However, by doing this, the resulting impact may lead to nerve damage in the biker’s arms. Sturdy clothing and elbow pads may be the best protection against biker’s arm.
- Leg injury. Following an accident, common injuries may not only involve injury to the leg, but also to the knees and feet. While these injuries are not typically fatal, they could grow into something worse or become permanently disabling.
- Bruising or internal bleeding. Because of the increased impact during a motorcycle accident, bruising and internal bleeding are likely to occur. If you are bleeding from an orifice or anywhere that you wouldn’t normally see blood, you should seek medical attention immediately. Internal bleeding may be severe enough to require immediate surgery.
