Challenges in Motorcycle Accident Cases
Motorcycle accident cases can pose unique hurdles that other motorists don’t face. Insurance companies sometimes stereotype riders as risk-takers, which can unfairly shift the blame and limit the compensation offered. Medical bills and lost wages often climb rapidly, especially if the collision caused significant injuries like fractures or head trauma, which is common in motorcycle accidents.
Navigating the aftermath of a crash can be overwhelming, especially when dealing with insurance adjusters, gathering witness statements, and consulting accident reconstruction experts—all while trying to recover from serious injuries. An experienced personal injury attorney can take on these burdens, ensuring your rights are protected and building a strong case for the compensation you deserve. While the process may seem challenging, securing fair compensation can ease the financial strain of medical expenses and lost income, allowing you to focus on your recovery.
Proving a Motorcycle Accident Claim
When you file a claim after a motorcycle crash, you generally need to show that the other person was negligent. Negligence means they didn’t meet the standard of care a reasonable driver would use. The law breaks it down into four parts.
Duty of Care: First, there must be a duty of care that the responsible party owes to you, the injured party. This is easy to prove in most cases, as everyone on the road is required to drive safely and look out for others on the road.
Beach of Duty: Next, you have to show that the driver broke this duty, perhaps by ignoring traffic signals or driving recklessly.
Causation: Third, you must link this unsafe behavior to your crash, showing that it directly caused the accident. For example, this could be showing that another driver ran a red light and crashed into you.
Damages: Finally, you need to show that you suffered actual damages, such as high medical bills or missed paychecks.
Demonstrating each of these points gives you a chance of recovering the damages you’re entitled to. An experienced personal injury lawyer with Feagans Law Group P.C. can work to secure the best possible resolution to your case.
