Motorbike Accident Lawyer Edmonton

Do You Need A Motorbike Accident Lawyer?

Whether a motorbike, moped, motor scooter or motorized bibike, motorbikes and motorbike accidents account for approximately 10% of all motor vehicle fatalities in the province of Alberta, including in the Edmonton region, though motorbikes comprise only 2% of motorized vehicles on the road.

Statistically, most motorbike accidents happen in the summer - as with most car accidents - with July being the most dangerous month for motorbike fatalities. Summer months are also more likely to be driving months for motorbike enthusiasts versus winter, as the weather is typically more favorable.

According to sources including The Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences, the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and the University of Edmonton, if a motorbike accident causes injury, those injuries will generally be ten times more severe than injuries that typically result from a serious car accident. The most common motorbike accident injuries include traumatic head injuries which can include concussion or brain damage; road rash, muscle damage which may be permanent, "biker's arm" - severe damage from the natural inclination to put your arms out in front of you to protect the rest of your body -- and leg injuries that can vary from nerve, skin and muscle damage to shattered bones. The medical costs due to a motorbike accident are typically six times those of a car accident and can include not only immediate medical costs, but rehabilitation or ongoing permanent care.
