Motorcycle Accidents in Utah
Motorcyclists in Utah face higher risks of serious injuries than other motorists. According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, motorcycle accidents account for a disproportionately high number of roadway fatalities and hospitalizations each year. Draper and other growing suburbs have seen an increase in motorcycle traffic, raising safety concerns for both riders and drivers.
Here’s what you should know about common injuries in motorcycle accidents and why early medical care is so important:
- Fractures and Broken Bones: Riders often suffer from broken arms, legs, ribs, or collarbones. These injuries may require surgery, physical therapy, and long recovery times.
- Road Rash and Skin Abrasions: Even with protective gear, sliding along pavement can lead to deep abrasions. If not treated properly, these injuries can result in infection or scarring.
- Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): Helmets reduce risk, but head injuries remain common. TBIs may range from concussions to life-threatening swelling or bleeding in the brain.
- Spinal Cord Damage: High-impact collisions can injure the neck or spine, sometimes leading to paralysis or loss of motor function. These injuries are often life-altering.
- Internal Injuries: The force of impact can cause damage to internal organs, including the lungs, kidneys, or liver. Internal bleeding can be difficult to detect without medical imaging.
