Official Title: Financial and Clinical Impact of Repeal of the Pennsylvania Helmet Law: A Multi-Center Prospective Study Comparing Helmeted and Non-Helmeted Motorcycle Accident Victims

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to find out how many helmeted versus non-helmeted motorcycle accident victims (MCA) sustain head and/or face injuries. Also, we will find out how much it costs to get medical care for head and face injuries in helmeted versus non-helmeted motorcycle victims. Finally, we will compare how long it takes helmeted versus non-helmeted motorcycle victims with face and head injuries to return to work.
