Personal Injury from a Motorcycle Accident

    CONCORD, NH, November 16, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident, the expense of your injuries may be catastrophic. If the accident was not your fault, you may be interested in filing a personal injury claim. In this type of claim, you are essentially alleging that the other driver was careless and thus caused the accident and your resulting injuries. With a personal injury claim, you may be able to reach a settlement with the other party to recover compensation. Otherwise, you may have to take your case to court in a lawsuit. An experienced personal injury lawyer can develop a legal strategy for your case.

Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries

Because motorcycles offer so little protection to the rider, the injuries caused in a motorcycle accident can be quite catastrophic. Some common injuries include:
- Traumatic brain injury
- Skull fracture
- Spinal cord injury
- Burns
- Amputation
- Internal injuries

These injuries can alter your life and the lives of your family members. You may face disability, resulting in an inability to work. The medical bills resulting from your injury may be staggering. And you may be dealing with devastating emotional pain and suffering.

If someone else caused this accident, you deserve to be compensated for the cost and impact of your injuries.

What is Personal Injury Law?
If you choose to hire a personal injury lawyer, the lawyer will pursue compensation for certain things associated with your injury, including:
- Medical bills
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering

Personal injury claims are legal disputes. If you are injured in some kind of accident and you believe the accident is someone else's fault, you can file a personal injury claim to seek compensation from the responsible party.

When you go to a personal injury lawyer, he or she should develop the most effective legal strategy to recovering fair compensation for your injury. Oftentimes, a personal injury case is resolved in a settlement, in which you can agree to an offered amount in exchange for not pursuing a lawsuit.

If both parties cannot agree on a settlement amount, your lawyer may continue with a lawsuit. In a lawsuit, your personal injury lawyer must prove the other party was negligent and that this negligence caused your injuries. Negligence is carelessness, and another driver can cause an accident when they drive carelessly.
