Motorcycle Accidents in Millcreek
Motorcycle collisions can result in serious, sometimes life changing injuries due to the lack of protection for riders. Even when helmets and protective gear are worn, riders remain vulnerable to broken bones, head trauma, spinal injuries, and road rash. Recovery often requires extended medical treatment, physical therapy, and time away from work.
In addition to the physical impact, victims may face emotional challenges such as anxiety about riding again, depression, or post traumatic stress. Financial pressures from medical bills, lost income, and motorcycle repairs can add to the stress of recovery.
