If you have suffered a serious injury in a motorcycle accident, you may be facing overwhelming medical bills, physical therapy, lost income, and other financial difficulties – all on top of the physical pain and emotional stress that comes with a major injury. All it takes is one bad judgment call from a reckless driver to turn your life upside down.
As a motorcyclist, you have the same rights as everyone else on the road when you are injured by a negligent driver, including:
- A medical examination by a doctor who specializes in motorcycle accident injuries
- Compensation for medical bills
- Compensation for property damage
- Damages for pain and suffering
- Reimbursement of lost income
The full amount of compensation you deserve will depend on the specific circumstances of your accident, and the seriousness of your injury.
Unfortunately, there is a cultural bias against motorcycle riders – people generally assume that they were the ones driving recklessly, even though crash data from many different sources shows that motorcyclists are most often the victims of these accidents.
