The feeling of blazing down the open road in a motorcycle is thrilling and inspiring, but carries with it greater risk than an auto accident. Due to their small size, motorcycles are more difficult for motorists to see than cars, and their riders are exposed and vulnerable. In a motorcycle accident it's very common for the rider to be thrown off their motorcycle. If you or a loved one is hit by a car while riding a motorcycle, the consequences could be disastrous.

Wrecking your motorcycle can send you into critical care. Your relatively unprotected body exiting the bike and striking the road at around 100kph is enough force to snap ligaments, break bones, and tear the skin off your body anywhere you're not wearing top-quality protective gear. And that's to say nothing of riders who don't wear helmets.
Catastrophic injuries you can suffer from a motorcycle wreck include:
Your injuries will qualify you for accident benefits regardless of fault. Victims of motorcycle crashes also qualify for loss transfer, a law designed to make damages between insurance companies more equitable when the injury is not. Under loss transfer, if a car and motorcycle crash, the car owner's insurance will pay for a portion of the motorcyclist's expenses. Loss transfer is governed by vehicle size: any time a trailer truck hits a car, or a car hits a motorcycle, loss transfer is likely to kick in.
If your lawyer can prove the other driver was at fault for the accident, you may also sue the driver for additional damages. These can cover straightforward costs like medical, rehabilitation, and wage-replacement expenses, or it can involve more abstract concepts like pain and suffering.
When it comes time to make a decision, if you decide to sue, Findlay Personal Injury Lawyers will be there to take your call. We have the medical and legal knowledge necessary to create a personalized care plan that allows you to recover while we deal with insurance companies and at-fault drivers. You're in good hands with our motorcycle accident lawyers.
