Cruisers are a little different from other motorcycles. They are generally heavier, bulkier, more solid and more visible than lighter motorcycles like sport bikes. Though these facts are generally consistent, riders can still potentially experience serious, catastrophic and even fatal injuries if they are involved in a cruiser motorcycle accident. Cruisers are seen as an ideal freeway bike and are frequently taken out on our Central Florida highways. Therefore, because of increased speed limits, Cruiser drivers and riders are at great risk of devastating accidents with an increased chance of life-altering injury or death.
Cruisers are:
- Bulkier
- Heavier

The Devastating Consequences Of A Cruiser Accident
Without a doubt, any type of motorcycle accident is potentially very dangerous for the rider or riders involved. They might be hit, thrown from the bike, dragged or run over by other vehicles, by their own bike or could even be impaled nearby objects such as signage, posts and other roadside additions. Injuries can include multiple broken, fractured and cracked bones, cranial trauma, concussion, brain injuries, neck, back, and spinal injuries, facial disfigurement, amputation of limbs, paralysis, severe, life-altering burns, nerve and soft tissue damage, cripplingly severe lacerations and abrasions (road rash) and even more. These kind of motorcycle and cruiser injuries might need only days to heal, or could require weeks, months or even a lifetime of exorbitantly priced medical care. As a result, riders of motorcycles and cruisers usually experience at least some lost employment and wages which frequently results in serious financial jeopardy.
