How Damages Help You After a Motorcycle Crash

Motorcycle insurance is required in Pennsylvania, so you will likely have to file a claim with your own insurer before you consider seeking compensation elsewhere.

If you speak with us promptly, our Union City attorneys can explain this process and make sure you complete it within any deadlines set by your insurer.

If your injuries and losses exceed what your own insurance policy covers, you can make up the difference by filing a claim or a lawsuit against whoever caused your crash.

In a personal injury claim, our motorcycle accident attorneys could pursue compensation for:

• Medical expenses
• Future medical care
• Loss of wages
• Loss of employment
• Permanent loss of earning capacity
• The damage or destruction of your bike
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Temporary or permanent disability
• Loss of quality of life
• Scarring and disfigurement
• Loss of consortium

We take into consideration all of the factors that affect a motorcycle accident settlement to make sure we pursue a fair amount from the at-fault party. Why is this important?

Not only are you depending on this money to support yourself and your family as you recover, but you cannot file another claim if you run out of money. Once the claim is closed, you are no longer entitled to further compensation, so it is vital to get it right the first time.

What Kinds of Motorcycle Accidents Can You Get Compensation For?

Traffic accidents take many forms:

• Head-on collisions
• Sideswipe collisions
• Rear-end crashes
• T-bone collisions
• Multi-vehicle accidents
• Single-vehicle accidents

We at Berger and Green are prepared to assist with any motorcycle accident that involves another party’s negligence. In other words, if someone else broke the rules—such as by speeding, failing to yield, drinking and driving, or texting and driving—you could be eligible for compensation, and our personal injury attorneys want to help.

How to Prove Liability in a Motorcycle Accident Case

Evidence is the linchpin of every legal action. You may be able to collect some evidence yourself, such as medical bills or photos of the accident scene.

However, to build the strongest possible case for compensation, it is generally a good idea to let our Union City motorcycle injury lawyers do the work of compiling:

• Statements from experts, like doctors or accident reconstruction specialists
• Statements from witnesses who have information about what happened before, during, and/or after the crash
• Union City Police Department reports
• Your medical records
• Cell phone records (if we suspect distracted driving played a role)

We use this and other evidence to establish the following four points:

• The liable party in your case was legally obligated to behave reasonably and take common-sense precautions.
• The liable party failed in their duty of care.
• Your accident happened because of this act of negligence.
• Your injuries are a direct result of the negligence-based accident.

Until you prove all of these factors apply to your case, you will not be able to collect compensation. Berger and Green wants to help you and your family get all of the money you need to rebuild.

That process begins by compassionately listening to you and keeping your needs at the top of mind as we investigate what happened.

What if I Get Blamed for the Motorcycle Accident?

It is worth noting that, even if you are partly liable for the accident, you could still recover compensation. However, if the liable party or the insurance company is unfairly blaming you to avoid paying appropriate damages, that is another matter.

Our motorcycle accident law firm can use the evidence we collect to prove who really caused your accident. In the meantime, limit your interactions with the insurance company so they do not get a chance to use your words or actions against you. We can handle all communication on your behalf.
