Motorcycle accidents can be more complicated than ordinary car accidents for a whole variety of reasons. First and foremost, of course, when someone is riding a motorcycle on a common roadway, typically their only protection from, you know, outside traumas or impacts is a helmet, protective clothing, leather, whatever the case may be, and of course, with that being the case, sometimes there’s an increased risk of what are known as severe or catastrophic injuries.
Now in the case of severe and catastrophic injuries, generally speaking, the more limitations and the more issues that arise for an individual who’s injured a motorcycle accident will lead to greater compensation being owed in a personal injury claim, and when that happens, typically insurance companies tend to dig in. The claims become a bit more complicated, become a bit more contentious. This shouldn’t dissuade you in any way, shape, or form from bringing forward a claim for injuries following a motorcycle accident. In fact, the opposite is usually true. So in that regard, it’s usually always best to consult with an injury lawyer to see what your options are in terms of bringing a claim forward after having been in a motorcycle accident.
