In the immediate aftermath of an accident, you may not think you need an attorney, but it is always wise to contact one as soon as is feasible. If you contact an attorney soon after an accident, chances are the details will be fresh in your mind. Motorcycle accident attorneys can help you recover expenses you have incurred including:
Medical expenses. Medical expenses can include an expensive hospital stay, prescription drugs, and possibly even surgery depending on the severity of the accident. They can include follow-up appointments and consultations with multiple medical specialists. These expenses add up quickly.
Lost wages. Whether you miss a few days of work or are out for months, lost wages can have serious consequences for an individual and should be taken into consideration when assessing compensation. In the most extreme cases, individuals affected by a motorcycle accident may even be unable to keep the job they had before the accident.
