Compensation Received in a Motorcycle Accident

Big Leap • September 12, 2022

While any automobile accident can be scary, a motorcycle accident is especially frightening. You are far more exposed and can receive serious injuries in addition to the damage to your motorcycle. After an accident, you should seek compensation and you have several options for that.. 

Coverage for Injuries and Vehicle Damage 

As with most accidents, you can receive coverage for any injuries you recieve. This will include portions of the cost for medical bills, procedures, medications, therapies, and more. These costs can be overwhelming, so seeking compensation for them should be a priority. In a motorcycle accident, it’s very likely that your vehicle will have sustained damage. You can receive coverage to repair your motorcycle. 

Lost Wages and Lost Transportation 

Due to severe injuries, there is a chance that you won’t be able to work. Fortunately, you can receive compensation for any wages you will have lost while unable to work. This can help ease your mind, and any financial burden, as you recover from the accident. Additionally, you can receive coverage for lost transportation. If you’re in a motorcycle accident, it’s possible that your vehicle was totaled or you won’t be able to drive it until it’s repaired. Compensation for a lost vehicle can help you afford alternative transportation options until your motorcycle is repaired or you’re able to get a new form of transportation.

Pain and Suffering 

In addition to the above compensation, you can also seek compensation for pain and suffering you’ve experienced from the accident. This accounts for things that are more subjective. For example, you can receive compensation that counts towards recovering from the trauma of the event, the effort for getting treatment, and activities you’ve had to modify or cancel due to your injuries.  Getting this kind of compensation can provide you with some peace of mind and help take care of all other troubles you may suffer after a serious accident. 

While there are plenty of ways you can be compensated after a motorcycle accident, it can be difficult to actually get this compensation. Working with an attorney is an effective option. Your attorney can help you to get the compensation you need so you can recover from your accident and get back on your feet.
