Damages recovery following a motorcycle accident can be challenging since insurance companies frequently try to sidestep coverage rules when denying personal injury payments on behalf of the at-fault party.
One of the first things to do after a motorbike accident is to speak with a lawyer who specializes in such cases. Florin| Roebig’s legal team has extensive experience in assisting motorcyclists in obtaining financial compensation through inquiry and negotiation.
Our lawyers will investigate the circumstances of your motorbike accident and injuries and use that data to make a claim with the appropriate insurance provider for compensation.
When To File A Motorcycle Accident Claim
Damage to property, emotional distress, physical harm, and even death can all come from motorcycle accidents.
All of these losses—financial, physical, and mental—can add up rapidly and have a negative impact on people who are still trying to get back on their feet after a traumatic event.
In the United States, many people struggle to make ends meet as it is and would have a hard time dealing with the massive out-of-pocket costs that can arise from a motorcycle accident injury.
While expenses related to a motorcycle accident can vary, they may include:
-
- financial: medical transport costs, hospital care/other medical bills, bike repair/replacement costs, and lost wages
-
- physical: serious injury requiring long-term rehabilitation and care, loss of limbs, disfigurement, paralysis, and severe brain trauma
-
- psychological: pain and suffering costs, resulting in mental anguish
Injured motorcyclists who seek financial compensation for their losses may find success in filing a claim based on their experiences in a motorcycle accident.
The wounded party or a close relative can bring a claim for compensation after a motorcycle accident. If the latter applies, a claim can be submitted to the court to seek compensation for a family member’s injuries or death.
The tragic loss of a loved one in a motorbike accident may qualify you for wrongful death compensation. You will need legal representation to establish that the unfortunate death of your loved one was caused by the carelessness of another person and to negotiate a fair settlement on your behalf.
In wrongful death motorcycle accident claims, negligent parties may refer to:
-
- another driver deemed at fault in the accident
-
- the motorcycle manufacturer (in the case that the accident was caused by defective bike parts, i.e. becoming a product liability case)
Evidence to support the negligence of another party in a wrongful death or product liability claim can be gathered through a full investigation of the accident and the party at fault.
Understanding Motorcycle Accident Personal Injury Claims
It can be difficult to decipher your legal rights after a motorbike accident if you try to handle the issue on your own.
Your right to financial recompense is the single most crucial aspect of motorcycle accident personal injury claims to comprehend. Whether or not you were at blame for the collision is a potential determining factor.
In order to be awarded compensation for injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident in several places, including Florida, the injured rider must demonstrate that the accident was caused by the other driver’s negligence or recklessness.
