Here are some of the most common motorcycle accident injuries:

Traumatic brain injuries
Spinal cord injuries
Broken bones
Internal organ damage

Death

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents can happen for any number of reasons though the root of most of these causes is negligence.

Here is a list of some of the most common causes of motorcycle accidents:

Open car doors: When the driver of a parked car opens the door into the path of an oncoming motorcycle, this can result in a serious accident. Drivers should check for oncoming traffic before opening their door.
Unsafe lane changes: It is crucial to signal and check for blind spots before changing lanes. Motorcycles are smaller than other vehicles on the road, making them easier to miss. Properly checking blind spots can help prevent these accidents from occurring.
Left turns: Right of way errors are also incredibly common and, unfortunately, this is a common cause of injury or death to motorcyclists.
Sudden stops: Generally, the injuries in a minor fender bender involving two cars are not too severe. However, even the smallest fender bender with a motorcycle can result in a catastrophic outcome, so it is crucial for drivers to maintain enough distance ahead to avoid accidents caused by sudden stops.
