Impact of a Motorcycle Injury
Motorcycling accidents can result in serious injury and disability, which can take a physical, emotional and financial toll on victims. Unlike car accidents, motorcyclists lack the protection of airbags and seat belts and are often more vulnerable to serious injury. In addition to physical injuries, victims may also suffer from psychological trauma caused by the accident and resulting disability or disfigurement. Potential injuries include:
- Head and spinal cord injuries
- Broken bones
- Severe road rash
- Amputations or loss of limbs
- Paralysis, brain damage or other permanent disabilities
These injuries can result in extensive medical treatment, long-term disability and lost wages. To ensure you have the financial resources to cover these expenses, it's essential to contact a qualified Connecticut motorcycle accident lawyer right away.

Seek medical attention immediately if you are injured
The extent of some injuries, particularly head injuries, can be extremely difficult to discern and it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. After an accident, you may feel shocked, confused and in pain, so getting a comprehensive medical evaluation is critically important. A medical professional can provide an accurate diagnosis and create a treatment plan to ensure you get the help you need.
Contact the police and file an accident report
In Connecticut, a police report must be filed for any vehicle accident that involves injuries or property damage. This report can be used in insurance claims and personal injury lawsuits as evidence of the other driver's negligence. Gathering witness statements and photographs at the accident's scene can also help strengthen your case.
