Motorcycle Accident Victim Rights
When you've been injured in a motorcycle accident that's not your fault, you may make a motorcycle accident claim. But unless you're already a motorcycle injury lawyer, you may not know where to begin. Many people don't even know all of their rights and how many sources of insurance and relief may be available to them.
Your Rights
If you have a motorcycle accident injury and it wasn't your fault, you are entitled to:- Full payment of your medical bills
- Payment of lost wages
- Payment for pain and suffering
- Repair or replacement of your motorcycle
- Payment of any out-of-pocket expenses related to your accident
Here's why it may be hard for you to receive everything you're owed on your motorcycle accident claim:
- The defendant's insurance company will work hard to pay you as little as they possibly can.
- You may be unaware of all the payment sources available to you. For example, if the person who hit you is under-insured, you may be able to use your own motorcycle insurance and even your car insurance for compensation.
