Motorcycle Accident Injuries

Motorcyclists are at an inordinate risk of severe injuries or death in a collision compared to motorists in other vehicles. Without any metal chassis around them, airbags, seatbelts, or other safety measures, motorcyclists are fully dependent on their helmets and the defensive driving of others around them. For this reason, it is not uncommon for a motorcycle accident claim to involve grievous, life-changing injuries.

Motorcyclists who have been hit by a full-sized car might suffer:

  • Brain injuries
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Multiple broken bones
  • Permanent scarring

Damages Related to Your Severe Injuries

An injured motorcyclist might be able to sue for damages that pay for:

  • All medical treatment needs, past and future
  • Missing wages and lowered income capabilities
  • Motorcycle repair or replacement
  • Pain, suffering, and permanent disabilities

The value of a motorcycle accident claim can be steep because the medical treatment costs associated with severe injuries are often steep as well. For example, a single back surgery procedure can cost $50,000 or more, depending on what needs to be done. Health insurance can only go so far as to cover those costs, so you could be hurting with hospital bills all the same. Our team will not rest until we have done everything we can to secure as much financial compensation for you as possible.

Furthermore, if your loved one passed away due to injuries caused by a motorcycle accident, then we can help you with a wrongful death claim. The damages available in a wrongful death claim will be somewhat different, such as you can secure compensation to pay for funeral and burial costs.

Why You Should Hire a Portland & Clackamas Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

After being in a bad motorcycle accident, you should seek the help of a motorcycle accident attorney. We are not just saying that because we’re a trusted law firm in Clackamas that offers services to motorcycle accident clients, either. The truth is that you could significantly risk the integrity of your claim if you try to manage it on your own.

Insurance companies make money by denying claims and minimizing damages. Motorcycle accident claims are particularly susceptible to insurance company pushback because they can try to argue that you, the rider, must have been at fault somehow by virtue of being a motorcyclist alone. They will do everything they can to get you to drop the case, to convince you that you don’t have a shot at any recovery, or to get you to sign a little settlement amount that barely pays for even one hospital bill.

With a motorcycle accident attorney on your side, you can be prepared for anything they throw at your claim, though. A lawyer’s advanced legal knowledge becomes your own when you hire them and let them act on your behalf, so the insurance company loses all ability to just trample over your case. Even if you don’t think The Gatti Law Firm is the right fit for your case, we still highly encourage you to seek the assistance of a motorcycle accident lawyer right away after being in a crash.
