Some Questions about Motorcycle Accidents
As with most motor vehicle accidents, the fault sometimes lies with the driver. But in the case of motorcycle accidents, more than 60 percent are caused when another driver doesn’t yield the right-of-way to the motorcycle. Sometimes this is because the other driver, usually in a car, doesn’t see the motorcycle, but often it’s because the other driver simply doesn’t understand the rights a motorcyclist should be granted on the road.
What kinds of damages might I be entitled to if I’m involved in a motorcycle accident?
Some types of compensation you might be entitled to include:
• Medical bills
• Cost of a rental vehicle
• Cost of repairs to your motorcycle
• Recovery of lost wages
• Recompense for pain and suffering
A personal injury attorney will be able to determine what compensation applies to you, and can help you pursue your case to a fair conclusion.
Why would I need a personal injury attorney? Won’t insurance cover my costs?
Not necessarily. In fact, in most cases, automobile and health insurance covers “appropriate costs,” which means the insurance companies will pay what they feel is an appropriate amount to cover repairs or medical bills. Rarely is this actually enough to cover the costs. A personal injury lawyer can help you secure a settlement that will cover actual costs, not just what the insurance companies are willing to pay.
