Spinal Cord Injuries
Most people believe that motorcycle helmets provide valuable protection for motorcyclists in the event of a crash. As motorcycle safety advocates and motorcycle injury attorneys, we will not dispute that premise. However, we also understand the point of view of bikers who claim that a helmet on their head actually caused a neck injury upon impact. Their heads were thrown around at the moment of the crash — and they suspect that the helmet contributed to a neck or even a spinal cord injury.
Whether your neck or back injury was minor or catastrophic, we urge you to talk to a motorcycle accident attorney at your earliest convenience. If you have suffered a spinal cord injury, your life and your family’s life has changed dramatically. The consequences of your paraplegia or quadriplegia will remain challenging for a very long time.
