New Hampshire Motorcycle Injuries
New Hampshire's beautiful, tree-lined highways are attractive open roads that draw many motorcycle riders every year. Sadly, they are often the sites of tragic motorcycle accidents, many of which result in severe injury or death to riders and their passengers. While experienced motorcycle accident lawyers like those at Tenn and Tenn, P.A. can help you recover compensation for your injuries in the aftermath of an accident, the best thing is for New Hampshire riders to avoid injury in the first place.
According to a 2010 report in the Boston Herald, 16 motorcyclists died in New Hampshire accidents, an increase of five fatalities over last year. Unfortunately, due to several factors, the outcomes of motorcycle accidents are often far worse for riders than for automobile drivers.
The most obvious reason is exposure of the motorcyclist to the elements. While car and truck drivers have the security of reinforced steel surrounding them on all sides, ready and able to absorb much of an impact, a motorcycle rider only has his or her personal protective equipment (helmet, leather clothes), if those. Another significant differentiator is the sheer size of the vehicles involved. If two cars are involved in a collision, their passengers and drivers are at approximately equal risk of injury. However, when a car and a motorcycle are involved in an accident, the chances of the smaller motorcycle's riders experiencing serious injury become far greater.
If you ride a motorcycle and are involved in an accident, you are at approximately 80 percent greater risk of sustaining one or more serious injuries compared to experiencing a crash while riding in a car. These injuries include the following:
- Brain injury such as concussion or fracture
- Leg and/or arm fractures
- Other broken bones
- Internal injuries
- Spinal column and spinal cord damage
Such injuries can result in permanent pain and suffering, limited mobility and mental function and loss of the ability to earn a living. At Tenn and Tenn, P.A., we understand how profoundly motorcycle injuries can affect every aspect of your life. Our veteran New Hamphsire motorcycle crash attorneys are here to assist you in pursuing just compensation so that you can focus on healing in the aftermath of a motorcycle accident.
