A fatal motorcycle accident will be slightly different. In this case, a wrongful death claim can be added to the settlement. In this case, a family member or other survivor can acquire compensation for the accident. Unfortunately, motorcycle fatalities are all too common due to the nature of the accident and the lack of protection for the motorcyclist. The wrongful death lawsuit claim for compensation will include funeral costs, burial expenses, loss of consortium, loss of inheritance, and loss of future wages.
