Signs of Head Trauma After a Motorcycle Accident
When a motorcyclist gets into an accident with any vehicle, that rider is going to hit the road.
It’s unavoidable, given that a motorcycle does not have the same level of support as a car. It is also why Mississippi enacted a helmet law that requires every motorcycle rider and passenger to wear a helmet approved by the Mississippi Department of Transportation (DOT).
Unfortunately, even when wearing a helmet, a motorcyclist can still suffer a form of head trauma in a collision with a car or commercial vehicle.
If you or someone in your family has been in a motorcycle accident, it’s essential that you understand what all your options are for seeking compensation for any losses.
