Common Injuries From Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents can cause devastating injuries that affect every aspect of your life. Here are some common examples:

Fractures: Broken bones can range from simple fractures to more complex ones requiring surgery.
Neck/back injuries: Such injuries can lead to chronic pain and disability or even paralysis.
Brain injuries: These can vary from mild concussions to severe traumatic brain injuries affecting basic cognitive functions.
Amputations: Losing a limb is a life-changing event that impacts mobility and quality of life.

Each injury comes with its unique challenges. That is why securing full and fair compensation is crucial. A motorcycle accident attorney from our firm can help you assess your financial and personal losses and determine how much compensation you will need to fully address them.

What Compensation Can You Get After A Serious Motorcycle Accident?

After a motorcycle accident, you may seek compensation for anything the accident cost you, such as:

Lost wages: This covers the earnings you have missed due to your inability to work while recovering from the accident.
Immediate and long-term medical care: This includes expenses for emergency treatment immediately after the accident, as well as ongoing medical costs for surgeries, hospital stays and other health care needs related to your injuries.
Rehabilitation and physical therapy: Compensation can cover the costs of rehabilitation and physical or occupational therapy. These can be crucial for regaining strength, mobility, and functionality that may have been impaired by the accident.
Psychological counseling: Traumatic events like motorcycle accidents can lead to significant emotional distress. Compensation for psychological counseling helps cover the costs of therapy to address mental health issues such as anxiety, depression or PTSD.
Adaptive equipment and accessibility needs: If your injuries require the use of adaptive equipment (like wheelchairs or modified vehicles) or modifications to your home (such as ramps and widened doorways), compensation can include these expenses to help you maintain your independence and quality of life.

Our goal is to ensure that you have the resources to fully recover physically and emotionally after your accident. A motorcycle accident attorney from our firm can negotiate for full coverage of these expenses – or take your case to court.

What Happens If You Were Partly At Fault For The Accident?

In Missouri, being partly at fault in a motorcycle accident does not necessarily prevent you from recovering compensation. The state follows a rule known as “comparative negligence,” which distributes compensation based on the degree of fault of each party involved.

Here’s how it works:

Assessment of fault: The court will determine the percentage of each party’s fault in the accident. This includes evaluating actions, failures to act and overall involvement in the crash.
Reduction in compensation: Once the court determines your percentage of fault, it will reduce your compensation by that percentage. For example, if you were 20% responsible for the accident and the total damages amounted to $100,000, you would be eligible to recover $80,000.
Legal representation: It is crucial to have skilled legal representation to argue your case effectively. Our motorcycle accident attorneys at Suddarth & Koor, LLC can help with these complex determinations and advocate for the lowest possible fault assignment on your part.

Understanding comparative negligence is essential, especially in serious accidents where multiple parties may share responsibility. Our motorcycle accident attorneys can clarify how this law applies to your specific situation. Then, we can fight for the maximum compensation allowable under the law.
