Relevant FAQs

Some symptoms of a fracture are:

  • Difficulty supporting weight with the injured area.
  • A snap or grinding sound when the injury occurred.
  • Visible deformity in the injured area.
  • Swelling, redness, and bruising in the injured area.
  • Immobilisation of a specific area of the body.

There are three types of bone fracture:

  • Closed fracture: This happens when the bone breaks but does not pierce through the skin. It is harder to diagnose this kind of broken bone. You will need an x-ray to confirm.
  • Open fracture (or compound fracture): This occurs when the broken bone pierces through the skin. As the skin has been punctured, there is more risk of infection.
  • Displaced fracture: This occurs when the bone moves out of alignment.

Medical Documentation: Keep records of medical treatments and bills.

Preserve Evidence: Keep photos, witness information, and any related documents.

Consult Legal Counsel: Seek advice from a lawyer experienced in motorcycle accident claims to protect your rights effectively.

Unsafe road conditions: Potholes, debris, or inadequate road maintenance.

Speeding: Excessive speeds can cause motorcycle accidents.
