What Motorcycle Accident Compensation Looks Like

Money is not going to change what happened to you. However, compensation will help you get good medical care and recover financially from the accident. Without a compensation settlement, some victims lose their savings and even their homes from the unexpected bills that pile up after a crash.

No two accidents are the same. It’s impossible to say how much you may recover, but the types of compensation motorcycle crash victims are usually awarded in Idaho Falls include but are not limited to:

  • Property damage, which may include the repair or replacement of your motorcycle, plus any personal property you had with you at the time, even including the clothes you were wearing
  • Medical costs such as ambulance, emergency room care, hospital stays, surgery, current and estimated future treatments, rehab, physical therapy, prescriptions, at-home care, assisted living, transport to and from appointments, adaptations to the home or vehicle for emerging needs
  • Loss of wages and benefits as you recover, or the difference in wages if you can work but at a lower salary
  • Loss of future earnings if you are unable to return to work
  • Out-of-pocket expenses such as insurance deductibles and copays or paying for assistance with routine tasks you cannot perform, including childcare, home maintenance, or running errands
  • Pain and suffering you felt at the time of the accident, during recovery, and for the foreseeable future
  • The general inconvenience a disability adds to your life
  • Loss of consortium with your spouse or partner
  • Changes in your relationships with loved ones and friends
  • Mental anguish
  • Depression and anxiety
  • Loss of quality of life
  • Loss of enjoyment of life

The losses for which you may be compensated are unique to you and the circumstances of your crash. Meet with our motorcycle accident attorneys to get a more concrete notion of what you may claim as a loss and how those losses may translate into a compensation settlement number.

How Our Lawyers Help You Seek Justice for Your Motorcycle Accident

Our law firm is dedicated to helping injured people recover. Through teamwork, hustle, and innovation, we work with a common goal: to help people who have suffered injury or death by providing access to the highest level of legal representation, medical treatment, and financial compensation. Every case is unique, but our workflow is generally as follows:

  • Meet for a free case evaluation, review your case and all of your options at no charge
  • Begin work for you, on a contingency fee basis (no win/no pay)
  • Investigate the accident, gathering evidence provided by eyewitness statements, police and medical records, CCTV, and on-site examination
  • Based on the evidence, identify the negligent act that caused the accident and the liable party legally responsible for damages
  • Assist you with compiling and valuing a list of your losses and filing your compensation claim with the insurance company along with letters of representation
  • Connect you with medical professionals who will guide you through your treatment, whether or not you have insurance
  • Negotiate with the insurance company for a compensation settlement that meets or exceeds the value of your losses
  • Represent you in court to seek a compensation judgment or verdict should the insurance company refuse to negotiate in good faith

Statute of Limitations to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit After Your Motorcycle Accident

The state of Idaho allows you two years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury lawsuit if negotiations with the insurance company fail. If you do not adhere to the time limit, you will most likely not be allowed to pursue a compensation verdict or judgment from the courts.

There are a couple of exceptions to this rule. If the person injured was a minor at the time of the accident, you may file within two years of the child’s 18th birthday. If the negligent party is involved in a criminal case related to the accident, you might be allowed to file within two years of the criminal case ending. If the negligent party was a government entity or employee, you have less than two years to begin legal action.

The statute of limitations may be critical to recovering a fair compensation verdict or judgment. Talk this over with our Idaho Falls motorcycle accident attorneys so that you are clear on your options.

Common Negligent Acts That Cause Motorcycle Accidents

Negligence is a significant contributor to motorcycle accidents. This may include:

  • Poor road conditions
  • Speeding
  • Distracted driving
  • Impaired driving
  • Left-hand turns
  • Opening car doors without checking for oncoming traffic
  • Broken traffic signals
  • Hidden traffic signs
  • Sudden stops
  • Sudden lane changes
  • Driver’s inability to “see” a motorcycle on the road
  • Unfamiliarity with the motorcycle

Idaho’s Negligence Rule for Motorcycle Accidents

Idaho has a modified comparative negligence rule for personal injury cases, such as motorcycle crashes. Sometimes, several drivers are at fault for an accident. If this is true in your case, you can still recover a compensation settlement or judgment if you are found to be less than 50% at fault for the accident.

For instance, if it’s agreed that you are 10% at fault, instead of recovering the full compensation you are due, you will recover 90% of the total. If you are considered to be 50% or more at fault for the accident, you cannot recover compensation.

Proving Negligence

During the investigative phase, we’ll search for evidence pointing to fault. This is when we will discover who is at fault and how much each person (if more than one) contributed to the accident. To prove fault, as the plaintiffs, we must:

  • Prove that the negligent driver had a duty of care to behave in a way that would prevent harm
  • Prove that the negligent driver breached that duty by acting or failing to act to an appropriate standard
  • Prove that the negligent act caused the accident that injured you
  • Prove that you suffered losses as a result of the negligent act
