Kentucky Motorcycle Helmet Laws and Motorcycle Accidents (Part B)

Request Your Free Consultation

In general, a fatal motorcycle accident can result from a head injury. A Department of Transportation-approved helmet is designed to absorb the force of impact that takes place when a motorcycle is involved in some sort of crash.

Along with a heavy jacket, full-length pants and high boots, protective headgear can make a big difference, guarding the rider from severe head injuries. 

A Close Look at Head Injuries

A moderate or severe head injury could bring about any of the following signs and symptoms:

 

  • loss of consciousness that could last hours;
  • profound confusion;
  • slurred speech;
  • numbness or weakness in the arms and legs;
  • unusual behavior, such as combativeness;
  • persistent headache;
  • loss of bowel and bladder control;
  • seizures;
  • clear fluid leaking from the ears or nose; and
  • repeated vomiting.

When a motorcycle accident leads to brain trauma, treatment will depend on the severity of the injury, and it may include surgery as well as physical and occupational rehabilitation. You will likely face significant lost wages as your body tries to heal.

If another driver is to blame for your motorcycle accident, you should take steps to hold them accountable for their actions.
