Get the Compensation You Deserve with the Help of Our Idaho Motorcycle Accident Lawyers
The average cost for a motorcycle accident is between $2,500 and $1.4 million, depending on the extent of rider injuries. If the accident leads to a fatality, the average costs are around $1.2 million. Every year, 82,000 people are injured in motorcycle accidents, and over 4,000 lose their lives. These statistics and the sheer cost of these accidents are sobering, particularly for accident victims. If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle crash that was due to another driver’s negligence, you may be eligible to receive compensation. Before you settle for the amount offered by the driver’s insurance company, make sure you understand all of the potential types of compensation you may be eligible to receive. This compensation is called “damages” and pays for a number of expenses you face in the days ahead.
Medical Bills from Motorcycle Accidents Can Be Catastrophic
Damages cover not only your current medical bills but also future costs for care. If you miss time from work while you recover, you can get compensation for that. Should your injuries mean you cannot work or are limited in what you can do, then you can get compensation for lost earning capacity.
Pain and suffering, including emotional trauma, is also part of your damages. These can be harder to put a value on, but they are still a valid reason to seek damages. If there was serious negligence, you may even be able to ask for punitive damages to punish them for their actions. In the case of a fatal motorcycle accident, the victim’s family can seek compensation for lost companionship and lost future wages. With so many considerations to make when seeking damages after a crash, you can easily get overwhelmed. Working with a motorcycle accident lawyer from Strong Law will help you protect your rights and interests.
COMMON QUESTIONS OUR CLIENTS ASK OUR MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT ATTORNEYS
Do you have a question about a motorcycle accident and the aftermath? Here are some common questions and answers from our team of motorcycle accident lawyers.
How long will my motorcycle accident claim take?
The length of time it takes to handle a motorcycle crash claim depends on the complexity of the claim and how fault is shared. If the settlement happens outside of court, it can take just a few months. If it goes to court, it can take a year or more. A skilled motorcycle accident attorney can help speed up the process while ensuring that you are getting fair compensation.
Should I take the settlement offer from the insurance company after a motorcycle crash?
Insurance companies are businesses, which means they are trying to make money, not help you. Sometimes settlements are reasonable, but it’s always best to talk to a Idaho motorcycle accident attorney before accepting one. Your attorney can help you understand all of the costs associated with your case to determine whether the settlement is fair.
How much is a motorcycle accident claim worth?
The answer depends on the extent of your injuries and the amount of fault you share in the accident. In addition, the economic losses you sustain as a result of your accident, including time off work and lost wages, will factor into the amount your claim is worth. A skilled legal team can help you think through all of the potential losses you face after an accident.
How long do I have to file a claim after a motorcycle accident?
Under Idaho’s statute of limitations, most motorcycle accident victims have a two-year window to file a claim. While this might sound like a lot of time, moving quickly is important. As you focus on healing and recovery, you can quickly eat up that time. Also, the sooner you file your claim, the fresher the details and evidence will be. Contact a motorcycle accident attorney as soon as possible after your crash.
Can I file a claim if I share fault in the accident?
Idaho state is a comparative negligence state, which means both parties in a vehicle crash can share fault. This means you can file a claim, even if you are partially at fault in the accident. Your total settlement will be reduced by whatever percent of fault you share. So if you are 20% responsible for the accident, your settlement will be 80% of the total amount of damages.
Motorcycle crashes can have far-reaching consequences due to the type of injuries they cause. Because motorcycle riders have nothing between them and the road, these injuries are often quite severe. Common injuries after a motorcycle crash include:
- Traumatic brain injuries and other head injuries
- Spine injuries, including paralysis
- Broken bones
- Lacerations
- Road rash
- Organ and internal injuries.
The key to fair compensation in the aftermath of a crash is getting legal help quickly. An Idaho motorcycle accident attorney from Strong Law can guide you in the days ahead, so you do not make costly mistakes. If you are looking to protect your rights and ensure fair compensation, call XXX-XXX-XXXX as soon as possible after your crash.
