There are many variables that come into play when determining compensation and recovery. Some of them are extent of injuries, damages to your property, loss wages and any temporary or permanent disability you may have gotten. Motorcycle accidents are inherently more dangerous than accidents involving cars and trucks because the protection given to the motorcycle operator is very minimal. Your best action would be to retain a personal injury attorney with experience in motorcycle accidents. He or she will help you by gathering evidence, documenting medical services and other costs and maximizing your compensation to cover all your loss. It is very important that you do not settle with insurance companies until you speak to an attorney.
