In accidents involving a motorcycle, the injuries are often severe. The rider usually takes the brunt of the impact, leading to hefty medical bills, repair costs, and possible lost wages. At Rutter Mills, we help injured bikers hold the negligent person or entity that caused the accident accountable, and help get you back on your feet.
Any losses resulting from a crash could result in compensation if your claim is successful. Common examples include:
Medical bills: The cost of medical treatment is often substantial. These bills could cover anything from emergency room visits to follow-up surgery. A successful claim could recoup the costs of all the above and more.
Pain and suffering: The physical pain that results from a motorcycle accident injury can be extreme and long-lasting. You are entitled to pursue monetary damages to compensate you for the pain you experienced in the wreck.
Lost wages: If you cannot work for some time because of your injuries, paying for your medical bills and other expenses might be impossible without your usual source of income. Any wages you miss out on due to your injury could be recoverable in a successful claim.
Motorcycle accident repair: In some cases, the bike could be destroyed or severely damaged. You have the right to seek compensation for the cost of replacing or repairing it.
Diminished future earning power: In some cases, your injuries are so severe that you can never fully return to work. Even if you can, your career trajectory might be severely limited. If your injuries will cost you lost income in the future, you have the right to seek compensation.
Identifying the compensation you are entitled to is one of the ways a Hampton motorcycle accident attorney could assist you with your claim.
Get medical attention. Be sure to tell the hospital you want to use your health insurance to cover the bills. Hospitals will try to push you into billing the car insurance. Don’t be fooled. That is for their benefit, not yours.
Make sure to keep all your medical bills and records, as they are extremely valuable evidence in your case.
Be sure to call the police. Officers at the scene should be able to provide an accident report that our team can pull during the investigation. A third-party opinion on the accident can also be helpful in court or negotiations to prove that you were not at fault for the accident.
Take pictures of the scene and identify any witnesses of the crash. Also make sure to notify your insurance of the crash, do not talk to the other driver’s insurance company.
In most cases you have two years to file a claim. It may seem like a long time, but conducting an investigation, getting witness statements, and other key elements will take time.
