Motorcycle Accident FAQ's
Q: Does it matter whether I was wearing a helmet?
A: No. You have the right to file a claim or lawsuit over your injuries, regardless of whether you were wearing a helmet. That's true even if you were legally required to wear a helmet. However, if you have a head or brain injury, the insurance company may claim you may have contributed to your own injuries by choosing not to wear one and you may get a lower offer from them or award from a jury than you would have recovered otherwise. A motorcycle injury lawyer you trust will protect you from these defenses early on in the claim process. You may still claim other "special" and "general" damages for other injuries, including past and future medical bills, wage loss, repair costs of the motorcycle and custom parts as well as physical injuries such as past and future pain and suffering, inability to function as a whole person, scarring, disfigurement, permanency of injury and others.
