Road rash is a type of abrasion that occurs when the skin rubs against the pavement. Road rash can be extremely painful and may require surgery to repair.
Broken bones are one of the most common injuries in motorcycle accidents. They can occur when the body is thrown from the bike or when the bike falls on top of the rider.
Head injuries, including concussions and traumatic brain injuries, are also common in motorcycle accidents. Wearing a helmet can help reduce the risk of a head injury.
Spinal cord injuries can result in paralysis. They often occur when the body is thrown from the bike or when the bike falls on top of the rider.
