Common causes of motorcycle accident concussions

Injuries to the head caused by motorcycle accidents in Georgia can be serious. Some of the most common causes of concussions due to motorcycle accidents involving other drivers include:

• Distracted drivers (particularly texting drivers) crashing into motorcyclists
• Drunk drivers
• Speeding drivers
• Reckless drivers
• Fatigued drivers
• Dooring

Head injuries need to be taken seriously right from the start. That's why we want to work with you right away. That way, you can focus on what really matters - your recovery.

Common concussion symptoms

Whether you suffered a concussion from dooring or being hit by a distracted driver, it is important to know the warning signs.

Some of the most common symptoms of a concussion include:

• Headaches or migraines
• Nausea or vomiting
• Dizziness
• Fatigue
• Memory problems
• Problems with balance and coordination
• Confusion or difficulty concentrating
• Sensitivity to light or noise

Concussion symptoms can be immediate or develop over time, making it critical to seek medical attention right away. In some cases, symptoms can linger for far too long, a condition called post-concussion syndrome. There is also the risk of a life-threatening complication called second impact syndrome if you sustain another concussion before the first has healed.

So, don’t take chances with your health. See a doctor right away. Then, talk to a motorcycle accident lawyer at our law firm.

How an attorney can help you

Building a strong legal case can be a challenge for motorcycle accident victims. That's because there's a bias against many motorcyclists. Some people think all motorcyclists are risk-takers and that you must have done something to cause your crash. This can be especially frustrating if someone from the insurance company for the driver who caused your crash tries to blame you for causing your collision.

You know the truth. You know you didn't do anything wrong. That's why you need our legal team on your side. We can aggressively investigate your accident and search for the evidence you need to get you the financial compensation you deserve. Schedule your free case evaluation right now. Call 1-800-898-HAYS.
