Another injury topic very pertinent to motorcycle riders is pelvic injuries. The pelvis is the strongest and most protected structure in the body. It takes a lot of energy to damage the pelvis, and many times, pelvic injury is accompanied by a lot of other injuries. There is one doctor in town that testifies that…
As a follow-up to the boy’s injury post, I wanted to do one for the girls. In thinking back through the thousands of cases we have handled, I could only think of a maybe one where a female was injured in her groin, a tear as I recall. Obviously, I am not posting pictures of…
In the injury information post from yesterday, I promised today would be one for the boys. Motorcycle accidents are one of the leading causes of blunt scrotal injuries. “Testicular dislocation is an uncommon complication, often due to a direct trauma to the fuel tank in motorcycle accident”. Basically, when a motorcycle runs into something, the…
All the gear all the time! Another reason to wear gear. We have all heard of road rash, most of us have had it. But not everyone has heard of “degloving injuries”. I mentioned this briefly in the post yesterday about lower extremity injuries. As a result of sliding on the ground, or getting some…
As riders, we are uniquely susceptible to certain injuries in accidents that people in cars are not. Lower extremity (thigh, knee, calf, ankle and foot) are some of the most common injuries riders suffer. In America, we receive more injuries on our left lower limbs, because we drive on the right hand side of the…
Legal Ride is staying open during the stay at home directive, in order to continue serving our clients and the community. We have gotten a lot of calls about rumors and speculation about what is happening with the Courts. I’ll break it down by Personal Injury, Criminal and Tickets: Personal Injury claims are moving through…
Continuing our series about injuries we motorcyclists suffer, last time we spoke about head injuries/TBI and how helmets can protect us. This time we write about spine injuries, and next time we will write about foot and ankle injuries. Spine medicine seems to elude many attorneys. They know the buzz words, and maybe the…
Motorcycle riders suffer some significant injuries not commonly seen in car accidents. So not only are the dynamics and therefore reconstruction of motorcycle accidents different from car accidents, but the medical treatment can be very different too. We spent years doing what most lawyers never do, besides trying cases, but also “learning the medicine” as…
This is the third in series related to motorcycle accident reconstruction. These are topics Legal Ride consults with other attorneys for and assist in cases around the country as far as putting together a strategy to defeat defense experts and the police in their efforts to reconstruct motorcycle accidents: The amount of property damage a…
It all starts with the triangle of reconstruction. If you remember Pythagorean theorem from your 10th grade geometry class, you know that if you know two sides of a triangle, you can calculate the third side. The triangle as it relates to riding is TIME-SPEED-DISTANCE. You are already familiar with the idea. For instance, if…
