At fault motorcycle accident
Motorcycle accidents can have devastating repercussions. From concussions and traumatic brain injury (TBI) to broken bones and even paralysis, motorcycle crashes can cause serious physical and emotional harm. If you were recently injured in a motorcycle accident, then determining who was at fault for the collision is critical, as this determination will help you claim damages. Damages in a personal injury claim, such as a motorcycle accident injury claim, can range from medical expenses (medications, surgeries, doctor’s appointments, diagnostic tests, physical therapy, caretaking, and more) to lost wages or loss of profits if you were forced to miss work owing to your injury.
Understanding Depositions
A deposition is an important and useful resource to gain information and discover potential evidence for a case. Depositions typically take place during the pre-trial “discovery” phase of a civil lawsuit, such as a personal injury lawsuit. This means that if a deposition is conducted, it will happen after the lawsuit has been filed but before it reaches the settlement or trial stage.
Understanding Emotional Compesation
Many people are aware that after suffering an injury at the hands of someone else, they can sue that person for the physical harm they’ve caused. However, far fewer people know that they have the right to sue another person not only for physical injury but for emotional suffering as well. In contrast to physical injuries, emotional trauma can be difficult to quantify, but that doesn’t mean that its impacts aren’t significant or that it can’t be sued for.
When To Sue for Personal Injury
A person has the right to file a personal injury lawsuit for any type of injury. While dog bites, car, truck, and motorcycle accidents, and slip and fall accidents are among the most common accidents that result in personal injury lawsuits, they aren’t the only ones you can sue for. In fact, if you were injured in any way due to the actions of another, so long as you have the evidence to prove it was the other person’s fault, you can sue for personal injury.
Types of Personal Injury Compensation
If you’ve been injured in an accident that was caused by the negligence or even intentional act of another, you have the right to file a personal injury lawsuit and seek compensation for the harm you’ve been caused. The legal term for the compensation you seek to receive in a personal injury case is “damages.” The exact amount of a personal injury damage award varies based on the unique circumstances of the case, as do the type of damages awarded.
Personal Injury Law Basics
You’ve suffered an injury and you think someone else caused it. What do you do? Situations like this happen all the time, and the best course of action you can take is to hire a personal injury attorney to help you file a personal injury claim. Personal injury claims can be filed for a wide variety of disputes, ranging from accidents and defective products to defamation and intentional acts. Some of the most common examples of personal injury issues include bicycle, car, trucking, and motorcycle accidents, dog bites, slip and fall accidents, and wrongful deaths. In this article, we will help you gain a better understanding of how personal injury law works, the process of filing a personal injury lawsuit, and the rights that you have as an injured party filing a personal injury claim.
How Attorneys Help Bikers With Dismissive Insurance Companies
If you have a motorcycle, and get into an accident while on your motorcycle, you’ll quickly find out that bikers go through the toughest negotiations during accident claims. The negative press has pervaded pop culture and led to a bias against motorcyclists in our general society. Bikers are seen as reckless, dangerous individuals who constantly put themselves in danger, and insurance adjusters are quick to adopt these beliefs.
How a Preexisting Condition Can Impact Your Accident Claim
One of insurance adjusters’ favorite ways to devalue or deny personal injury claims is to state that your injuries were caused by a preexisting condition. They may argue that you were injured at work or while playing a sport, or that your injuries are due to age. Their goal is to convince you to accept a small settlement or to avoid fighting back altogether, but this is a mistake.
