In negotiations or litigation against a defendant’s insurance company or negligent party, the attorneys in our office may be able to help you recover compensation for the following:

• Past and Future Medical Expenses: Victims can file to receive compensation for emergency visits, hospital care, surgery etc. if the injuries were directly related to the accident.
• Lost Wages: Motorcycle accident victims can claim compensation for wages they could have earned if the accidents hadn’t taken place. Victims can recover compensation for the period of time they had to be away from work to recover.
• Pain and Suffering: As motorcyclists may not be offered PIP insurance, they may file a lawsuit to claim compensation to combat their pain and suffering after the accident. To determine whether the victim requires compensation, courts will consider factors such as the nature of the injury, along with the duration and extent of pain.
• Mental Anguish: Victims and families may also be provided compensation for the emotional pain they had to face after the incident. Emotional suffering includes feelings of fright, embarrassment, nervousness, worry, and grief.
• Traumatic Brain Injuries: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is sudden damage to the brain caused by a blow or jolt to the head from blunt trauma. These injuries can vary in severity but lead to life-altering changes for both a biker and his or her family.
• Disfigurement: Our attorneys often see serious serious injuries, such as degloving injuries, as a result of significant road rash or road burn. These types of injuries require significant medical treatment which leads to costly bills.
• Loss of Consortium: The surviving spouse may receive compensation for the loss of services, assistance, aid, society, and companionship of his or her loved one in the case of a wrongful death caused by a motorcycle accident. Surviving parents may receive compensation for the loss of love, affection and companionship of their minor children as a result of their wrongful death. Likewise, minor children may receive compensation for the loss of services, assistance, aid, society and companionship of their parents as a result of their wrongful death.

Each case is unique. Your attorney can explain what types of damages will be available to you.
