Collisions between cars and smaller, more vulnerable vehicles like scooters can lead to a wide range of injuries. Here are some common injuries riders may sustain and how they can affect recovery:

• Fractures and broken bones: The impact from a larger vehicle can cause severe bone injuries that may require surgery or prolonged rehabilitation.

• Road rash: Skin abrasions from sliding on asphalt can be extremely painful

and may require specialized wound care to avoid infection.

• Head injuries: Even with a helmet, scooter riders are at risk of concussions or more serious traumatic brain injuries, which can affect memory, coordination, and daily activities.

• Soft tissue injuries: Sprains, strains, and muscle tears can result in long-term discomfort and limit mobility, often needing physical therapy to restore strength and flexibility.

• Internal injuries: Blunt force trauma can damage organs or cause internal bleeding, sometimes requiring emergency surgery.
