Types of Compensation

Those injured in motorcycle accidents may seek compensation from whoever caused or contributed to their losses. California law recognizes two categories of compensatory damages, and your case may involve both.

Special Damages

  • Medical bills and the cost of future medical care
  • Lost earnings
  • Lost earning potential

General Damages

  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Loss of consortium

Collecting on your damages depends on proving the other party was at fault. This is done through a proper investigation, witness statements, photographs, police reports, and in some cases accident reconstruction experts. An attorney with real experience in motorcycle cases is the most effective tool you have against an insurer that comes in with a bias against riders.

Who Can Be Held Liable

Negligent drivers
Employers of at-fault drivers
Property owners
Motorcycle manufacturers
City, county, or state public entities
Construction companies
