Harrisburg Brain Damage Lawyer
The risk of severe injury is far greater for a motorcyclist who is involved in a crash than for the driver or occupants of a car. There are obvious disparities between the safety features available to motorcycle and car owners, but one of the few protections available to a motorcyclist is a helmet.
Helmets have been shown to significantly reduce the fatality rate in these accidents, but they are not 100 % effective, and many riders choose to ride without a helmet. Although there are some exceptions and qualifying requirements, after riders complete appropriate training or have been licensed for two years, the state of Pennsylvania does not mandate wearing a helmet.

Types of Brain Injury
There is no such thing as a minor brain injury. As the hub of thought and personality and the organ that regulates so many of the body’s vital systems, any damage to the brain is serious and may have lasting effects that bring trauma not only to the victim, but to his or her friends and family as well. Some of the brain injuries that are apt to cause significant damage are:
- Concussions
- Contusions
- Cerebral Hemorrhages
- Piercing injuries
