What Can Cause Serious Injuries in Moped and Motor Vehicle Crashes?
Mopeds are smaller and lighter than passenger vehicles, which can leave riders with less protection during a traffic accident. Serious harm can occur when a moped rider is thrown from the vehicle or comes into contact with another vehicle or the pavement.
Speed, roadway conditions, visibility, and traffic flow can all affect the severity of a collision. Driver attention is also important, particularly on busy highways and at intersections where vehicles may change lanes or merge.
Protective gear, including a properly fitted helmet, can reduce the risk of certain head and facial injuries. However, protective equipment cannot prevent every type of harm. The type of vehicle, point of contact, travel speed, and position of the people involved can all affect the injuries reported after a traffic accident.
