Your Rights After a Motorcycle Accident
As a motorcycle rider, you have just as much right to use the road as any other motorist. When someone else harms you through their careless behavior on the road, you have the right to hold that driver accountable.
Depending on your job, these injuries might keep you out of work. For some bikers, this disability is temporary, but that doesn’t make it less serious. Even if you’re only out of work for a short time, you depend on that money.
And then there are the unfortunate motorcycle accident victims whose debilitating injuries never go away. They might improve somewhat with treatment and time, but never enough that you can return to the job or the life that you enjoyed before the crash.
To get the full amount of money you deserve for your motorcycle accident claim, you’ll need an attorney with experience handling motorcycle accident cases.
When you pursue a motorcycle accident claim against the driver at fault for your collision, you can seek compensation for every one of your damages, including:
Ongoing medical cost
Pain and suffering
Lost wages
Loss of future earnings
Loss of quality of life
