Transcription
Sadly, a lot of people on the road do not show respect for motorcyclists. They do not keep an eye out for them, and they do not give them enough room. Other people's inattention can make the roads dangerous for individuals riding motorcycles, even when they are following the rules of the road.
When it comes to an accident, if you have a car versus a motorcycle, the motorcycle is going to lose every time. A motorcycle does not have a metal frame to protect the rider, and the car, truck, or other vehicle is much larger than the motorcycle. We know that motorcycle accidents can cause broken bones, road rash, brain injuries, and many other disabling injuries.
We have handled cases for motorcyclists who, through no fault of their own, suffered leg amputations, severe traumatic brain injuries that caused total disability, broken legs, broken arms, and many other totally disabling injuries. In all of those cases, we have been able to get treatment covered and compensation paid to look after our clients—not just for now, but if they need it for the remainder of their life.
For motorcycle claims, our clients should have access to insurance to cover treatment and income loss for the first two years after the accident. After that point, they have a legal claim to seek all income loss as well as medical expenses. Your legal claim will also include damages for pain and suffering because how your life changes after an accident matters.
