POTENTIAL DAMAGES IN A MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT CLAIM
In a motorcycle accident claim, you may be entitled to financial compensation for expenses and losses related to the wreck. A settlement can also include money for future expenses caused by your injuries and the accident, such as ongoing rehab treatment.
Your compensation may cover:
- Costs of medical treatment related to the crash, including medical bills, prescriptions, physical therapy, medical equipment purchases, and transportation costs to and from appointments and procedures
- Repair or replacement costs for your motorcycle
- Lost income if you missed work to recover from the injuries you suffered in the accident
- Lost earning capacity, if you have a permanently disabling condition caused by the accident
- Loss of enjoyment and quality of life due to disabilities, significant scarring, or disfigurement caused by your injuries
- Physical pain and suffering
- Emotional trauma and distress
HOW LONG DO YOU HAVE TO FILE A MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT LAWSUIT?
Under California’s statute of limitations, you typically have only two years from the date of a motorcycle accident to file a personal injury lawsuit for compensation. If you wait until after the deadline on your claim, you risk the court dismissing your lawsuit. Protect your claim by contacting an attorney as soon as possible. A lot of legal legwork goes into preparing a lawsuit. The sooner you start on your case, the better.
