Important Statistics for Motorcyclists in Hamilton

A motorcycle accident may lead to serious injuries and fatalities for the occupants of the motorcycle. In 2018, Canada was home to 729,627 registered motorcycle and moped owners—nearly 10,000 more motorcycle drivers than in the previous year. As exciting as motorcycle ownership and driving may be, it may also pose certain dangers.

In that same year, The Ontario Ministry of Transportation’s road safety annual report recorded 57 motorcycle accident-related fatalities. In addition to fatal accidents, the Ministry of Transportation reported that an additional 1,269 motorcycle drivers and riders suffered injuries, varying from minimal to major, in motorcycle versus vehicle collisions.

If you or a family member suffered injuries during a motorcycle ride, you may be able to collect a financial payout from the at-fault driver. Get connected to a Hamilton motorcycle accident lawyer when you call Preszler Injury Lawyers at 1-800-JUSTICE. Do not fight for compensation on your own.

Practice Motorcycle Safety Habits When You Ride

Passenger cars, trucks, commercial vehicles, and buses must all learn to share Hamilton’s roads and highways safely. As a motorcycle driver, you may do your part to promote safe and effective sharing of the roads. You may take the following steps toward promoting safe and responsible driving:

  • Take a motorcycle driver training course from a qualified instructor.
  • Remain in your lane and avoid creating a mini lane by riding in between cars.
  • Wear a properly designed, well-fitting helmet on each trip.
  • Wear bright clothes that increase your visibility for car and truck drivers.
  • Approach intersections slowly and enter them carefully.
  • Use your signals to alert other drivers to your intended actions.

If you took these safety measures, always practiced safe driving, and were still injured in an accident, speak to a lawyer right away. You may have the foundation of a personal injury lawsuit that lets you collect compensation from the at-fault driver. Review the details of your accident with a Hamilton motorcycle accident lawyer today.

Types of Damages in a Motorcycle Accident

When you are the victim of a collision between your motorcycle and a larger vehicle, you may sustain an amazing amount of expenses and losses. From ambulance rides to lost income, the expenses start adding up immediately after the accident happens. If your case is eligible for financial compensation, you may be able to hold the at-fault driver responsible for the full cost of the accident. The types of damages you might be eligible to receive include:

  • Aggravated damages, which may cover emotional distress
  • Compensatory damages, which may cover your actual financial losses
  • Non-pecuniary damages, which may cover pain and suffering
  • Pecuniary damages, which may cover intangible losses
  • Punitive damages, which are intended to punish intentional wrongs
  • And possibly more

You may also qualify for additional types of damages. Review the details of your motorcycle accident with a lawyer who may be able to help you understand your compensation options. You may reach a Hamilton motorcycle accident lawyer to review your claim today by calling Preszler Injury Lawyers at 1-800-JUSTICE.

Protect Your Compensation Claim By Filing Early

If you or a family member were injured when a vehicle collided with your motorcycle, you may want to hold the driver who hit you responsible for his actions. That could mean pursuing the driver or their insurance company.

Pursuing the at-fault driver could mean you might receive financial compensation for your accident-related expenses. Protect your ability to file a claim by contacting a lawyer as soon as possible.

Once you have had your injuries treated and your condition stabilizes, contact a lawyer. Waiting to file your claim is risky. According to the Limitations Act, if you do not file your claim for compensation within two years of the motorcycle accident, you may not be able to file a claim at all. Speak to a Hamilton motorcycle accident lawyer who may be able to ensure you meet the appropriate timeline and avoid putting your claim for compensation in jeopardy.

Build Your Compensation Claim with a Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Serving Hamilton

A motorcycle accident may leave you with injuries and their accompanying emergency and ongoing medical bills. An accident may also leave you with a damaged or destroyed motorcycle and the repair bills to restore your ride. These expenses should be the responsibility of the driver who caused the accident.

Get help and support to collect the compensation you may be qualified to receive. Contact Preszler Injury Lawyers at 1-800-JUSTICE to be connected to a motorcycle accident lawyer serving Hamilton. If the injuries you endured in the motorcycle accident prevent you from traveling, we may even be able to come to you.
