What to Expect from a Motorcycle Accident Claim

Riding a motorcycle can be a thrilling and exciting way to explore Lincoln, but it can also be dangerous. Due to the lack of protection and small vehicle size, motorcyclists have a higher risk of suffering injuries in accidents, even if they follow all safety protocols and wear a helmet. Unfortunately, insurance companies often have a bias against motorcyclists, making it challenging to recover the damages you deserve.

Potentially Recoverable Damages After a Lincoln Motorcycle Accident

Suffering injuries in a motorcycle accident can have a physical, emotional, and financial impact on your life. However, you should not have to pay for the losses you endure as a result of someone else’s negligence. The Lincoln auto accident lawyers at Knowles Law Firm work closely with you to understand the full scope of your damages and consider every detail to accurately determine your claim’s value. 

Depending on the severity of your injuries and other details of your claim, you may recover compensation the following damages.

Types of Damages You May Recover After a Motorcycle Accident

  • Past, present, and future medical bills
  • Lost wages from missed work
  • Loss of earning capacity
  • Ambulance ride
  • Property damage
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Reduced quality of life

How Fault Percentages Affect Your Compensation

In many motorcycle accident cases, multiple parties share responsibility, including the injured victim. If this is the case for you, you may still recover damages with Nebraska’s modified comparative negligence rule.

With this system, each party involved receives a percentage of fault, which is deducted from their respective damages. Any party over 50% responsible cannot collect damages. For example, if you are 15% at fault for your motorcycle accident, and your claim is worth $300,000, you will receive $255,000.

We understand this system and how insurance companies may try to unfairly blame you for the accident. Our experienced Lincoln motorcycle accident lawyers are committed to building a strong claim with evidence that proves the liable party breached their duty of care and directly caused your injuries to ensure you receive a fair settlement.
