Motorcycle Accident FAQ's
Q: What can I claim in a motorcycle accident lawsuit or insurance claim?
A: For most injured motorcycle riders and passengers, you can file a claim or even sue, if necessary, for the "special damages" incurred because of the accident such as past and future medical bills, wage loss, repair costs of the motorcycle and custom parts as well as others. You can also claim "general damages" which normally are the largest part of your claim. Some examples are past and future pain and suffering, emotional distress, inability to function as a whole person, scarring, disfigurement, permanency of injury and other damages. An experienced motorcycle crash lawyer you can trust knows exactly what "special" and "general" damages to demand on your behalf even if you don't. People who have lost a loved one can claim additional damages for their own grief, loss of love and companionship, loss of household and personal services, costs of funeral and burial expenses and other economic losses depending upon whether the deceased passed away as a single adult with no children or left behind dependent next of kin under the Wrongful Death Statutes.
