What is my motorcycle case worth?
Like car accident cases, the settlement amounts for motorcycle accidents are unique and vary on a case-by-case basis. The severity of your motorcycle accident, your total losses, and the damages you are eligible for impact your settlement. Typically, however, it’s estimated that most motorcycle accident settlements range from about $200,000 – $300,000.
Generally, the more severe the motorcycle accident is, the more you can expect to be compensated for. If a settlement is not reached, your case will go to trial, where a judge or jury will determine if and how much damages you can recover. However, going to trial is not that common and is typically avoided in most motor vehicle accident cases.
Working with an experienced Florida motorcycle accident attorney is the best way to determine what damages you can seek and what an appropriate settlement amount should be in your case.
Common types of damages in a motorcycle accident include the following:
- Emergency medical care
- Future medical bills
- Rehabilitation and doctor visits
- Lost wages and career changes
- Property damage to your motorcycle
- Helmet and riding gear damage
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional anguish
- Scarring, permanent disfigurement
