What Damages Can I Seek in a Motorcycle Accident Claim?

Because of the size and the type of vehicles involved in a motorcycle accident claim, the value of a motorcycle accident claim tends to be much higher compared to most other accident claims. A motorcycle does not provide the same level of protection to the rider as a car does to its driver; therefore, motorcyclists are at a higher risk for traumatic and life-threatening injuries during an accidents, especially when the accident involves a larger vehicle such as a truck, SUV, or commercial vehicle. This results in higher medical costs and longer periods out of work.

Therefore, the damages in a motorcycle accident claim can quickly increase into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Regardless of the amount of damages involved in a motorcycle accident claim, the most common types of damages are the same as those you will find in any other vehicle accident.

• Past and Future Medical Expenses – The other driver is responsible for the payment of your medical expenses from the accident, as well as, your future medical expenses for ongoing or permanent medical conditions.
• Past and Future Lost Wages – You have the right to be reimbursed for any lost wages since the date of the accident until you are able to return to work.
• Lost Earning Capacity – If you are unable to return to work or earn the same amount you did prior to the accident due to your injuries, you have the right to receive compensation for your diminished earning capacity.
• Physical Pain and Emotional Suffering – In addition to financial reimbursement for your damages, you have the right to receive compensation for your pain and suffering.

Depending on the circumstances of your accident, your injuries, and your life, you may be entitled to receive additional types of damages. I encourage you to contact my office to schedule a free consultation to discuss your motorcycle accident claim in detail.
