Driving a motorcycle carries the clear risks that come with being on the road, but there is also the additional risk of having less protection than a vehicle does. This puts you at a higher risk of injury, also given that you do not have a proper seat belt or airbag to surround you if an accident were to occur. As a result of this, motorcycle accidents, such as a rear-end accident, make neck injuries are fairly common. However, if you or a loved one has experienced a neck injury in a motorcycle accident due to another’s negligence, we at 844 See Mike are here for you every step of the way to ensure that your rights are protected and you are fully compensated for your injuries and losses, and this includes working with the insurance companies on your behalf to ensure a favorable settlement.

Whiplash

One type of common neck injury from accidents is whiplash. According to the Mayo Clinic, whiplash is a type of neck injury that occurs from forceful and rapid back-and-forth movement of the neck. Symptoms appear within a day and include neck pain or stiffness, loss of range of motion in the neck, dizziness, irritability, and shoulder pain among many. It may take weeks to recover, but there are possible complications, so it is essential to seek immediate medical attention to ensure that you are feeling back to normal sooner.

Neck Injuries

If not whiplash, it is possible that a rear-end collision into your motorcycle will result in a different type of general neck injury. This could take the form of severe neck pain, a broken neck, or even possible paralysis.

A broken neck can be diagnosed by your physician with an X-ray and should generally be treated with a neck brace and rest. If severe enough, it could damage your spinal cord and cause complications. A spinal cord injury could result in paralysis below the neck, called quadriplegia. This can be particularly debilitating and difficult to live with if permanent, but it can be temporary depending on the severity.

Nonetheless, any neck injury can result in complications that can be more severe and deserve proper and immediate medical attention.
