How Common Are Motorcycle Accidents?
Motorcycle crashes occur every day and can lead to serious and sometimes fatal injuries. Even careful riders are vulnerable due to limited protection compared to occupants of passenger vehicles.
What Are the Most Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents?
Like any other traffic accident, motorcycle accidents can happen for many reasons. Common causes include:
- Conducción distraída
- Exceso de velocidad
- Running red lights
- Poor road conditions
- Rolling stops
- Vehicle defects
- Illegal turns
- Blind spot errors
- Unsafe passing
Motorcyclists should exercise caution on the road. When a driver ignores the rules of the road or makes a mistake behind the wheel, they can be held responsible for causing a motorcyclist’s injuries or death.
What Is My Motorcycle Accident Case Worth?
No two cases are valued the same way. There are many factors that can determine the value of your case, including:
- The extent and severity of your injuries
- Whether you can return to work after your accident
- Whether you are partially at fault for the accident
- Límites de la póliza de seguro
- The extent of property damage
- Your age
- Your life expectancy
- Whether you suffered a long-term or permanent disability
Of all the factors, the severity of your injuries will be most influential when it comes to valuing your case. Certain injuries, such as brain injuries, spine injuries, and catastrophic injuries, can cost hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars. Your case will likely be worth more if you have severe injuries.
You can rely on a motorcycle accident lawyer to identify and analyze all the factors affecting your case’s value. Set up a free consultation today to see what your case might be worth.
How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Motorcycle Accident Lawyer?
Most personal injury lawyers work on a cuota de contingencia basis, which means that you only have to pay them if they recover compensation for you. Under this fee arrangement, you don’t have to worry about any upfront costs or an hourly rate; legal services are affordable under this fee arrangement. You would only have to pay your attorney a percentage of the settlement or verdict that they secure for you.
What Types of Damages Are Available to Motorcycle Accident Victims?
You should not make the mistake of reducing your damages to medical expenses and lost wages. You can recover damages for the full extent of your injuries, which includes both economic damages and non-economic damages.
Daños económicos cover tangible, calculable losses that are directly tied to the accident, such as:
- Facturas médicas
- Salarios perdidos
- Disminución de la capacidad de ganancia
- Therapy
- Daños materiales
- Gastos de bolsillo
Daños no económicos cover intangible, subjective losses that are harder to quantify, including:
- Dolor y sufrimiento
- TEPT
- Pérdida del disfrute de la vida
- Desfiguración y cicatrices
- Pérdida de consorcio
- Angustia mental
Some cases may also qualify for daños punitivos where the at-fault party’s conduct was malicious or grossly negligent.
What Are Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries?
All riders should wear appropriate protective gear, including a helmet, but serious injuries can still occur in a motorcycle crash, such as:
- Quemaduras
- Conmociones cerebrales
- Lesiones cervicales
- Lesiones de espalda
- Lesiones medulares
- Lesiones torácicas
- Daño nervioso
- Lesiones de tejidos blandos
- Parálisis
- Lesiones por amputación
- Leg injuries
- Lesiones catastróficas
- Muerte por negligencia
Report your motorcycle accident immediately, and then go to the emergency room for prompt medical care. Taking these steps will help protect your health and your claim.
Can I Recover Damages if I’m Being Blamed for a Motorcycle Accident?
Insurance companies and defense lawyers often try to blame accident victims rather than taking responsibility. In many jurisdictions that follow modified comparative negligence, you can still recover damages so long as your share of fault is below a legal threshold, and your award may be reduced by your percentage of fault.
If the other party tries to blame you, don’t be surprised. Trust our motorcycle accident attorneys to defend you from being held liable for your accident.
What Is the Statute of Limitations for Motorcycle Accident Lawsuits?
Filing deadlines vary by jurisdiction, but many places require personal injury lawsuits to be filed within one to three years from the date of the accident. Missing the deadline can bar recovery. Reach out to the lawyers at 844-SPARTAN for help ensuring your claim is filed on time.
