Motorcycle accident victims are at much higher risk for injury than car drivers due to the lack of crash protection. As such, injuries tend to be more severe for motorcycle riders. Obtaining monetary damages in a settlement or a court award can help relieve the financial burden of dealing with a motorcycle accident.
Initially, in an attempt to prevent having to pay what you’re actually owed, the insurance company will likely offer less than the full and fair amount of compensation you deserve. Having a lawyer on your side can help you maximize the offer. If the insurer still fails to offer you a fair settlement, your attorney will have your case prepared to fight it out in court.
If an insurance company denies your personal injury claim, you can then take them to court and present your case about the amount of compensation you’re owed.
You may be eligible for compensation for these losses after your accident:

Punitive damages are more difficult to prove. They are designed to punish the behavior that caused the accident, and the amount awarded will vary depending on the circumstances.
