The Aftermath of A Motorcycle Accident
Victims and their families are burdened with the complications that come after a tragic motorcycle accident. According to data available from the Pennsylvania Office of Traffic Safety, more than 377,000 motorcycles are registered. Motorcyclists are most often hit by heavier vehicles, such as trucks and commercial trucks, which can cause significant damage. Even if the motorcycle list was impacted by any vehicle at a slow speed, it could still result in injuries and damages. Motorcycles are not built to take the same impact as larger vehicles. Dealing with someone else’s negligent actions should not be your responsibility.
Motorcycle accidents can lead to severe injuries. The following is a list that a victim may face:
- Cognitive impairment
- PTSD
- Mobility loss
- Scarring
- Psychological trauma
- Disfigurement
- Loss of income
- Loss
- Nerve damage
- Skin infection
- Collapsed lungs
- Brain bleed
- Psychological disorders
The tragic fact is that the victim could be facing an ongoing list of injuries. Not being able to resume to the person you used to be can be devastating.
Wondering Who Is At Fault?
The liable parties that could be at fault include the following:
- The manufacturer of the motorcycle
- The driver of the other vehicle involved
- Motorcycle rental company
- The repair shop that last did any maintenance work on the motorcycle
- The government if a hazard in the roadway caused the accident
Fingers could be pointed at anyone, but without sufficient evidence, it can be hard to prove any of the parties are at fault for the motorcycle accident. As a result, more than one party may be held liable. The Washington County motorcycle accident lawyer you hire will complete a full investigation by looking into each potentially liable party.
When the liable parties are determined, they will see how much of the accident was due to your negligence. If it is concluded that you did contribute a percentage of the liability, the court will deduct that percentage away from the number of damages you receive.
