What Are the Most Common Motorcycle Injuries Seen on Virginia Roads?
Motorcycle crashes in Virginia frequently result in injuries to the lower body, including the knees, legs, and feet. These areas are largely unprotected in a typical crash, even when a rider is wearing proper gear. The impact of a fall or collision tends to concentrate force on whichever part of the body makes first contact with the ground or another surface.
Upper extremity injuries, such as those to the wrists and hands, are also common because riders instinctively extend their arms when falling. This natural reaction, while protective in some situations, can lead to fractures or soft tissue damage. Shore Drive and the surrounding Virginia Beach area see steady motorcycle traffic, particularly in warmer months, which increases the overall exposure to crash risk on those roads.
