Frequently, motorcycle accidents involve extremely violent collisions in which motorcyclists are crushed by other vehicles or are thrown from their motorcycles at high speeds, resulting in serious or fatal injuries. Injury to motorcyclists can result in broken bones, severe spinal cord damage, burns, disfigurement, or head trauma.

Based on the nature of your accident and injuries, you may receive financial compensation for:

- Loss of wages. You may be entitled to compensation for lost wages during the time that you were unable to return to work following your motorcycle accident. Additionally, you may receive compensation for future lost wages if your injuries prevent you from returning to work.
- Damage to property. Motorcycle accidents often result in extensive damage to the motorcycle as well as other personal items. You may receive compensation for the damage to your property if the courts determine that the other motorist is at fault.
- Suffering and pain. The extent of your injuries may determine how much you receive as compensation for pain and suffering. In addition, long-term effects such as PTSD can have an adverse impact on your quality of life, resulting in further compensation.
- If a wrongful death has occurred, it is possible to pursue a wrongful death lawsuit against the negligent motorist who caused a loved one’s death.
An attorney can tell you what damages you might receive if you win or settle your case after investigating your case. The amount of damages you receive depends in part on how severe your damages are as well as any degree of fault you hold in the case. Damages are likely to be apportioned if more than one motorist acted negligently.
