Because the injuries and economic consequences of motorcycle accidents vary so dramatically, it is difficult if not impossible to accurately quote an “average payout”. Generally speaking, the size of a settlement or trial verdict in any personal injury case will depend on the nature and severity of the injuries and losses; whether fault is clear or disputed; as well as upon the insurance coverage available from the at-fault driver and other sources.
For example, a person who suffers a broken leg in a Boston motorcycle accident will likely recover less than a person who is paralyzed in the same crash. However, the value of each case will decrease if the motorcyclist is partially to blame for the accident or if the at-fault driver has a minimal amount of insurance.
