Motorcycle Accident Compensation: What are you Entitled to?

Stephanie Thompson, Estate Planning Attorney of Krueger Hernandez & Thompson SC · Aug 19, 2014 ·

madison motorcycle accidentThere is nothing better than driving your motorcycle on the open road, feeling the breeze in your face. Unfortunately, some people don’t realize the need to share the road with motorcyclists. As a result, they cause an accident that can lead to serious injury or even death.

When it comes to receiving motorcycle accident compensation, there are things you should and should not be doing. Above all else, you should never assume that you can handle this on your own. Instead, you need to realize the benefits associated with consulting with an experienced motorcycle accident attorney.

Who will Pay your Medical Bills?

If you are involved in a motorcycle accident it is safe to assume that you will be faced with medical bills, some of which may not be covered by your insurance.

It may be tempting to communicate directly with the insurance company, but doing so could put you in a bad spot, eventually leading to you agreeing to something that would not be in your best interest.

What are you Entitled to?

No two motorcycle accidents are the same, and for this reason it is impossible to say what you will be entitled to should you be involved in a collision with another vehicle.

First off, your legal team must determine if another party caused your accident and subsequent injuries. If this is the case, you may be able to receive compensation for some or all of the following:

  • Medical costs
  • Lost earning capacity
  • Lost wages
  • Out of pocket expenses related to your injuries
  • Scarring
  • Future costs related to permanent or ongoing injuries
  • Pain and suffering

While there are situations in which a motorcycle accident victim is entitled to all of these, most find that they are not. This is where your attorney will step in, determine what makes the most sense for your case, and then decide how to proceed.

The chance of being involved in a motorcycle accident should not be enough to keep you off the road. Instead, you need to do your best to remain safe, while also protecting yourself, such as by wearing a helmet and other protective gear.

If you live in Wisconsin and find yourself involved in a motorcycle accident, contact us today to discuss your case and to receive professional advice. We have helped many others in your position receive compensation for injuries and other damages.
