Questions About Motorcycle Accidents

Lexington, Kentucky

What should I do if I’m injured in a motorcycle accident?

When you are injured in a motorcycle accident, you should treat it exactly as you would any other automobile accident. Following the simple steps following an automobile accident will allow damages to be assessed while also taking care of your personal and medical needs.

What if my motorcycle accident was caused by a defective roadway?

If a roadway is not properly maintained, you have a right to seek compensation for your losses. Bikers have just as much a right to drive on all maintained roads as drivers of trucks and cars, and state and local road crews have an obligation to keep those roadways safe for everyone.

Can I file a suit if a loved one is killed in a motorcycle accident?

If you have lost a loved one in a motorcycle accident you can file a wrongful death lawsuit. Immediate family members, spouses, and in some cases parents can file to recover damages including current expenses related to the death, projected future damages, and even loss of support and partnership. If young children have lost their parents in a motorcycle wreck, they may be provided a guardian by the court to look out for their interests in a wrongful death suit.

What if I’m injured by an uninsured driver?

The other driver’s insurance or lack thereof does not impact their responsibility to pay for the injuries they caused. You have a right to seek full compensation for all of your injuries without needing to worry about how the responsible party is going to pay for them.
