You Have Rights After a Motorcycle Accident
Victims of motorcycle accidents can file a claim or lawsuit to seek compensation for their accident-related losses.
We can collect evidence of the collision, which will provide clarity about how the accident occurred. Some examples of such evidence include:
- Photos of the accident: Photographs of the damage to the motorcycle and vehicles involved, personal injuries to the victims, and road conditions.
- Videos of the collision: Video evidence helps us clearly understand the accident’s details.
- Traffic reports: These reports contain data such as the ownership of the vehicle, makes and models of the crashed automobiles, charges, or encumbrances, among others.
- Police reports: These can include details of the accident and other aspects, such as fights or threats between the drivers after the collision.
The evidence of your motorcycle accident reflects how the collision occurred, which can help us prove another driver’s negligence. After your accident occurs, we can get to work immediately to preserve any evidence.

Potential Compensation for St. Augustine Motorcycle Accident Victims
Some injuries from motorcycle accidents cause several complications. From ambulance transfers to lengthy hospital stays, medical care can be expensive. We can seek compensation for the following losses.
Medical Expenses
When injuries from motorcycle accidents are severe, the victims sometimes need long-term care along with immediate medical intervention. We can seek compensation for your current and future medical expenses. Financial compensation can also cover the in-home care or renovations necessary to accommodate medical care. Injuries may require specific stairs, breathing equipment, or limb mobility.
Lost Wages and Reduced Earning Capacity
Severe injuries can keep you out of work for some time. In some cases, you may not be able to return to your job. We can seek compensation for lost wages, including bonuses, benefits, and paid leave. We can also seek awards for reduced earning capacity.
Pain and Suffering
If you file a personal injury lawsuit, we can seek compensation for your pain and suffering. We may also be able to do so with a third-party liability claim.
Other Losses
You may also have out-of-pocket expenses related to your injuries. We can determine which losses you can seek recovery for and pursue them.
Make Sure You See a Doctor
After a motorcycle accident, one of the best ways to protect yourself and support your case is by seeing a doctor. Only a physician can assess and treat your injuries. You deserve to put your health first. Plus, medical documentation can support your case for compensation.
We can compile your medical records and bills to help link your injuries to the accident. These documents can also help us go after what you deserve. For example, if you require long-term care, you will want your potential settlement to reflect these future expenses.
Refusing or delaying treatment could give insurers a chance to claim that you worsened your injuries. This can help them undervalue or deny your claim. Don’t let them get away with offering you less than you deserve. See a doctor immediately and begin a treatment plan.
