MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT STATISTICS

 

WHO PAYS FOR MY DAMAGED MOTORCYCLE’S REPAIR?

You would make your claim against the at-fault driver’s  insurance company to have your bike fixed.

 

WHAT TYPES OF SERIOUS INJURIES CAN OCCUR FROM MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS

Motorcycle accidents can result in a variety of serious injuries, including:

  • Fatal accidents.
  • Spinal cord injuries.
  • Traumatic brain injuries.
  • Back and neck injuries.
  • Shoulder injuries.
  • Fractures and broken bones.
  • Knee injuries.
  • Scarring and disfigurement.
  • Road rash.

 

Motorcycle accidents often result in serious, life-altering injuries. Victims may require surgery, lengthy hospitalization, and extensive rehabilitation. These injuries can prevent victims from working or participating in recreational activities, and can even damage relationships with family members.

 

HOW DO I FILE A MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT?

 

You need to contact a lawyer to help you file your lawsuit. The formal document that you will need to file is called the Complaint, and it will state the specific facts of the accident as well as any claims of negligence. Many cases settle before it is necessary to file.

WHO PAYS MY MEDICAL BILLS AND LOST WAGES?

 

Motorcycle accidents are a common occurrence on the road. If you are involved in one, it is important to know who will be responsible for paying your medical bills and lost wages.

If you have no-fault insurance, the insurance company must pay all of your hospital bills and medical expenses. However, if you do not have no-fault insurance, you will be responsible for paying these bills yourself.

You are also entitled to receive lost wages if you are unable to work because of your injuries. 

WRONGFUL DEATH LAWSUITS AFTER A FATAL MOTORCYCLE CRASH

If you have recently lost a loved one in a motorcycle crash, you may be wondering if you have the right to file a wrongful death lawsuit. In some states, the crash resulted in fatal injuries to the biker or passenger, the surviving family members can file a lawsuit against the negligent person. A death claim seeks a settlement for the decedent’s pain and suffering before the death, loss of the companionship of the family members, and other claims that are allowed under the state’s Wrongful Death Laws.

 

WHAT ARE THE LEGAL RIGHTS OF AN INJURED PASSENGER RIDER?

Injured passengers have a lot of legal rights. They can sue for compensation from both negligent drivers and the operators of the motorcycles they were riding on at the time of the crash. However, passengers are completely innocent in any accident and many times bikers and motorists attempt to blame each other as being responsible for the crash.

 

HOW MUCH MONEY WILL YOU GET FROM YOUR MOTORCYCLE CRASH?

The amount of your settlement may be more or less than what you expect. This depends on many different factors, such as the severity and permanency of your injuries, the type of medical treatment you need, and how your injuries have affected your ability to live your life normally. 

Other things to consider include whether you had any degree of fault in the accident and the amount of insurance policy limits available to pay your settlement. If you have been in a motorcycle accident, speak with an experienced attorney to learn more about what your case may be worth.

 

DO I NEED A LAWYER TO SETTLE MY PA MOTORCYCLE CASE?

Motorcycle accidents can be very serious, and if you are injured in one, you may need to hire a motorcycle accident lawyer to get the compensation you deserve. A personal injury settlement with the adjuster is likely to be much lower than what you would receive with legal representation. Studies have shown that injury victims without a lawyer typically receive much less money than those who have one. If you are seriously injured in a motorcycle accident, you should strongly consider hiring an experienced motorcycle accident lawyer to help you obtain the compensation you deserve.

HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO FILE A CLAIM FOR A MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT?

 

The statute of limitations for filing a lawsuit for a motorcycle accident is up to three years from the date of the accident, in some states. If you miss this time deadline, your claims will be lost forever.

 

So if you or a loved one were injured in a motorcycle accident, it is important to act quickly and consult with an experienced personal injury attorney who can help you understand your legal rights and options. An attorney can also help ensure that your claim is filed within the applicable time limit.
