Maximizing Your Motorcycle Accident Compensation in San Francisco

The value of any settlement or verdict in a personal injury case will depend on the specific facts involved, as well as factors such as:

• Injury severity: Motorcycle accidents commonly cause serious injuries that result in considerable pain and suffering, long recoveries, and extensive medical expenses. The more serious the injuries are, the more victims will require to be “made whole.”
• Permanent disabilities: Some motorcycle accidents are life changing. Traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputations, and other injuries can result in lifelong disabilities and extra needs that must be accounted for when seeking compensation.
• Medical expenses: Injury claims help victims obtain compensation for medical expenses. This can include ER and hospital bills from treating injuries, as well as costs related to rehabilitation, therapy, assistive care, and medical treatment likely needed in the future.
• Lost income: Victims whose injuries cause them to miss work can seek compensation for lost income. In cases where injuries are so severe that they prevent a person from working at all or working the same job they once had, future lost wages can also be sought.
• Other damages: Victims have a right to recover compensation for the economic and non-economic damages they incurred as a result of their injuries. This can include pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, loss of consortium, and more.

It is not uncommon for motorcycle accidents to be high-value cases. Knowing this, insurance companies are keen to protect their bottom line and fight claims by disputing or denying liability, arguing damages, and doing all they can to pay as little as possible.

With experienced attorneys in your corner, you can level the playing field with insurance carriers and position yourself for a full financial recovery.

Determining Fault in San Francisco Motorcycle Accidents

Despite all the extra precautions and safety measures motorcyclists take, not everyone is as aware or cautious as they should be. As a result, their negligence may cause preventable motorcycle crashes that injure innocent victims.

Our attorneys conduct meticulous investigations to determine liability and seek the compensation victims need. These investigations may find liability on the part of various defendants, including:

• Negligent motorists who commit traffic violations
• Drunk or distracted drivers
• Commercial bus or truck operators
• Manufacturers of defective products
• Premises owners that failed to address property hazards

Determining who can be held responsible for your losses is one of the most important parts of a case. Prosecuting your claim and ensuring at-fault defendants and insurance carriers are held accountable for all of your damages is another challenge that demands the insight of an experienced legal team.
