When a motorcycle rider is involved in an accident the injuries can be catastrophic. Unlike their car counterparts, there is no airbag or restraining mechanisms that prevent the rider from becoming airborne. As a result accidents involving motorcycles can be devastating and in some instances fatal.
In serious accidents, an injured accident victim, or their family, can be compensated for medical bills, pain, suffering and in fatal accidents, wrongful deaths. Dependent on the severity and unique circumstances of each case, damages for a motorcycle accident can vary greatly from one case to the next.
Apart from the physical and mental damages that a motorcycle accident victim has suffered. There are additional claims that can be made for loss of love and loss of consortium. Due to the severity of these accidents, a loss of consortium can be possible as a result of the injuries that were sustained during the auto accident.
