Can a Motorcycle Accident Cause a Stroke?
Yes, a motorcycle accident can cause a stroke. It can cause a stroke, and it can cause a brain aneurysm. A motorcycle accident can result in a stroke specifically due to the traumatic injuries that are commonly caused by these accidents. More specifically, a motorcycle accident causes a stroke because of the traumatic neck injuries and head injuries that a victim could experience in an accident. These injuries could have devastating consequences that could potentially go undetected until the stroke occurs days or weeks after the incident.
Neck injuries – a stroke caused by whiplash due to a motorcycle accident is rare but not unlikely. Whiplash is a common term for a neck injury. The sudden jolting and/or jerking motion of the head and neck in a scooter accident can cause arterial lining in the neck to tear, resulting in a hemorrhage. When the hemorrhage clots, it blocks blood flow to the brain. This is known as an ischemic stroke.
Head injuries – a brain injury after a motorcycle accident, or any type of traumatic injury to the head, could lead to a stroke. More specifically, trauma to the head/brain can cause blood vessels in the brain to burst, resulting in a hemorrhage that pools in the brain. This is known as a hemorrhagic stroke.
If you or a member of your family suffered a head injury, brain injury, or neck injury in a motorcycle accident and suffered a stroke either days or weeks later, it is possible that the stroke occurred directly due to your motorcycle accident injuries. You should explore your legal options immediately.
Can I Sue for a Stroke after a Motorcycle Accident?

What Should You Do?

- Taking photos of all your injuries
- Taking photos of the entire scene of the motorcycle accident (including of any property damage)
- Seeking medical attention for your motorcycle accident injuries
- Speaking to witnesses and collecting their contact information
- Filing an accident report with the authorities as soon as possible
- Gathering any relevant insurance information
- Gathering medical records, records of lost earnings, and records of property damage
However, if you suffered a stroke either days or weeks after the initial motorcycle accident, there are additional steps that you should follow – both to prepare to pursue your stroke injury lawsuit and to preserve proof of causation between the motorcycle accident and the stroke.
Consider the additional steps listed below:
- Logging your symptoms (take note of the start date of your stroke symptoms)
- Getting medical care for your stroke, specifically, and informing your medical team of the recent motorcycle accident injuries that you sustained
- Collect all new medical records
- Finding an experienced stroke motorcycle accident lawyer to help you sue
The Statute of Limitations
To preserve your right to file a lawsuit, it is essential that you file your injury claim within the appropriate statute of limitations. A statute of limitations determines the total length of time that claimants have to file their claims. If claimants fail to file their claims within the appropriate deadline, they could lose their right to sue. In the state of California, injury claims are subject to a two-year statute of limitations (either two years from the date of the accident or two-years from the date that the injury was discovered). Most states have a similar two-year deadline; although, there are a few states with deadlines that vary from one year to six years. To ensure that you have a thorough understanding of the time that you have to file your stroke injury motorcycle accident lawsuit, do not hesitate to contact the experts at our law firm immediately.
