Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
Many motorcycle accidents happen because drivers do not look out for or notice motorcyclists in the same way they do for other motorists. This leads to motorcycle accidents caused by:
- Turning into the pathway of an oncoming motorcyclist
- Changing lanes into a lane occupied by a motorcyclist
- Failing to yield the right-of-way to a motorcyclist
- Unsafely passing another vehicle and colliding with the motorcyclist
Larger, commercial vehicles have a bigger blindspot than the average car, and can oftentimes be the cause of a motorcycle collision. If this is the case, an experienced truck accident lawyer in South Jordan can investigate your case to determine how it happened and who is at fault.
Financial Compensation You Can Recover in a Motorcycle Accident Claim
Motorcycle accidents tend to cause serious injuries, including spinal cord injuries, road rash, traumatic brain injuries, and complex fractures. As such, the value of special damages and general damages that are recoverable tends to be higher than those involved in other motor vehicle accidents. As an accident victim, you may be able to recover compensation for the following:
Medical expenses – You may be able to recover costs to cover medical bills you incurred immediately after the accident, ongoing medical costs, and future medical expenses.
Lost wages – You can seek compensation for your lost income, including wages, salaries, tips, bonuses, overtime pay, commissions, and future lost income.
Lost earning capacity – If your injuries affected your ability to work or return to the same job, you can seek compensation for your lost or reduced earning capacity.
Property loss – You can seek compensation to repair or replace your damaged bike.
Household services – If you had to hire someone to help with household services, such as cleaning, cooking, or transportation, you could seek compensation for these additional costs.
Pain and suffering – In addition to economic damages, you can pursue compensation for the intangible losses you suffered, including your physical pain and discomfort.
Emotional distress – In addition to your physical pain and suffering, you can seek compensation for the emotional distress, mental anguish, and other psychological effects of the accident.
Loss of enjoyment of life – Motorcycle accidents can cause debilitating injuries that negatively affect your quality of life. You can seek compensation for these losses.
Loss of consortium – Motorcycle accidents can impact your relationship with others. You can potentially recover compensation for the loss of companionship, love, affection, or sexual relations you experience due to the accident.
Scarring and disfigurement – Motorcycle accidents can cause disfiguring injuries and permanent scars. You can seek compensation for these effects.
Our experienced motorcycle accident lawyers can fight to hold the at-fault driver responsible for their negligence.
