Motorcycles offer a convenient and quick mode of transportation. Unfortunately, riding a motorcycle comes with serious risks. They offer almost no protection to a rider during an impact, which can increase the potential severity of the rider’s injuries in an accident.
If you were hurt in a crash, let a Blue Earth motorcycle accident lawyer help you seek justice. The claims process can be difficult to manage on your own, but our team understands how to maximize your recovery while treating you with compassion. A dedicated injury attorney from Maschka Personal Injury can review your case and advise you on the best course of action.
Any vehicle collision can cause injuries that greatly impact your life, but motorcyclists are especially at risk for severe injuries. Unlike cars and trucks that have airbags and other safety features, riders are fully exposed to the forces of an oncoming vehicle.
There is also the risk of serious injury from being thrown from the bike. Striking the ground after the initial impact can lead to the following injuries:
Any one of these conditions can serve as the basis for your personal injury case. Our Blue Earth bike accident attorneys can help you determine the value of your claim and pursue the compensation you deserve.
Minnesota is one of a handful of states that have adopted a no-fault approach to car insurance. Minnesota no-fault coverage provides immediate benefits for someone injured in an automobile accident. However, Minnesota law does not require no-fault (or personal injury protection) coverage for motorcycles. A motorcycle owner must affirmatively elect no-fault coverage for it to be available in a Blue Earth motorcycle wreck.
An attorney from Maschka Personal Injury can guide you through the claims process, help you evaluate potential sources of insurance coverage, and work toward securing maximum compensation.
The specific types of compensation available to an injured rider will vary from person to person. Some potential categories of damages include:
If you need to seek medical treatment after a motorcycle accident, the expenses can accumulate quickly, from ambulance rides to emergency room visits. Serious injuries may even require extensive ongoing care. All of these expenses can be claimed in a personal injury claim.
Riders who are unable to work after an accident may be entitled to recover their lost wages. There may also be damages available if your future earning capacity is reduced due to physical limitations caused by the crash.
Another key aspect of an injury claim is pain and suffering. Damages are available for emotional harm. Our attorneys can present a case that advocates for fair compensation for your pain and suffering after a bike accident in Blue Earth.
