Don’t Let A Motorcycle Accident Ruin Your Future
The freedom of the open road is unmatched for motorcyclists in Ocean County, but it comes with limited protection compared to cars and other vehicles. Unfortunately, this often results in more severe injuries or fatalities. Common injuries from motorcycle accidents can include traumatic brain injuries, broken bones, crush injuries and burns. It is vital that you seek immediate medical attention after a motorcycle accident, even if you do not notice any symptoms or injuries right away.
Motorcycle accidents can occur due to various reasons, including:
- Blind spots
- Lane splitting
- Sudden stops
- Unsafe lane changes
- Speeding
- Road hazards
After a motorcycle accident, you can file a claim to obtain compensation to cover your losses caused by your accident. Depending on your circumstances, you can recover damages for your medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost wages and lost earning capacity. You can also recover compensation for noneconomic damages, including pain and suffering, disfigurement or scarring, and mental anguish.
New Jersey’s comparative negligence act could influence your personal injury claim, allowing compensation even if you are partially at fault. This law applies when multiple parties share fault for an accident. Under this act, each party involved is assigned a percentage of fault, and any compensation awarded to an injured party is reduced by their percentage of responsibility. When you work with us at R.C. Shea & Associates, Counsellors at Law, we will thoroughly examine your case and explain your legal options.
