Let’s start here: motorcycle accidents are often worth a lot of money because they cause a lot of injuries and other issues for the victims (missed work, etc) and having an idea of the value of your motorcycle accident can be a helpful gauge but the bottom line is this: if you have been injured in a Los Angeles motorcycle accident because of someone else, you should hire a winning Los Angeles motorcycle lawyer at Walch Law now. Even if you were partially at fault for the accident, you can still get a lot of money for the part of the accident you did not cause because California is a comparative negligence state when it comes to these types of accidents.
Common Motorcycle Injuries
Some of the most common motorcycle injuries we help our clients recover from include:
- Burns
- Skin injuries
- Broken bones
- Traumatic brain injury
- Spinal injuries
For too many, they don’t get the medical help they need because they can’t afford it which is why a medical lien is so helpful. At Walch Law, we are connected to numerous skilled doctors, physical therapists and more that can help you now and allow you to pay later. We are so committed to our clients physical and emotional recovery that we will even pay for you to get to and from your doctor appointments.
How Much is Your Motorcycle Accident Case Worth
Back to the point of this blog– helping you to get an idea of the value of your case. How much your case is worth depends on how badly you were hurt and the other areas of your life were impacted. If you are in a wheelchair and unable to work, your case is going to be worth a lot more money than someone who has some road rash and only missed a week of worth. Both those cases are solid cases that should be pursued because you shouldn’t have to pay for the actions of someone else. Here’s a look at all the things that go into increasing your case value:
- Medical bills and needs: How much is it going to cost for you to feel better– now and in the future? For those accident victims that will have ongoing medical needs, we work with your doctors to forecast this number out.
- Professional/personal impact: missed work is missed money that should not come out of your pocket. Or perhaps you did not work in a traditional paid job but helped raise kids or care for others, also something that should now not be a financial burden on your family. In some instances, it is easy to figure out how much money a person is out and in others we work hard to place the highest value on this lasting loss.
- Pain and suffering: Pain and suffering is a general legal term that allows us as your winning Los Angeles motorcycle accident lawyer to work to get your compensated for the overall impact being in an accident has had on your. As logic would have it, the bigger the accident the bigger the pain and suffering payout can be.
- Other impact: Can’t have sex with your partner anymore? Seriously depressed? Or some other issue now occurring, these things can be compensated!
Can You Get Punitive Damages for a Motorcycle Accident?
Yes you can, but they are extremely rare. In order to recover punitive damages for a motorcycle crash (which would greatly increase your case value), the responsible party for the accident would have needed to do something “reckless and wanton.” If this is an option in your case, we will absolutely go for it.
