Damages You Might Recover From a Motorcycle Accident
As entertaining as it is to ride a motorcycle, these vehicles present several risk factors not associated with automobiles. Their relative instability, tendency to wobble at high speeds, and lack of encasement, seatbelts, and airbags all add to the mix. As a result, motorcycle riders who experience accidents risk sustaining severe injuries.
The costs of medical treatment and other expenses can combine with the loss of income from missing work to create a hefty financial burden.
A Hempstead motorcycle accident lawyer at Friedman & Simon, L.L.P. is here to fight for your right to compensation. You do not need to bear the burden for an accident you did not cause. We will work tirelessly to make sure the at-fault party or their insurance carrier pay a just settlement or that the presiding court finds for you with a just award.
Some of the damages you might recover from an insurance settlement or a jury verdict include the following:
- Lost wages and benefits
- Cost of medical treatments
- Future/ongoing medical costs
- Diminished earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Prescription medicine costs
- Diminished future potential earnings
- Emotional trauma
- Diminished life enjoyment
- Pain management medication
