When a Hutchinson motorcycle crash claim is filed against an at-fault party’s liability insurance coverage, the claimant and their lawyer are required to prove two things: liability and damages. To prove liability, there must be evidence that shows that the at-fault party’s failure to take reasonable actions to avoid causing harm to others resulted in the claimant’s injury. This evidence could include an accident report, photos and video from the scene, and eyewitness or expert testimony
The claim must also include documentation that supports its value. This includes bills and receipts for medical treatment. It may also include employment records showing a financial loss due to missed work while the rider was recovering from their injury.
In some cases, a rider will sustain a permanent injury, and the rider may be able to make a claim for future medical expenses and a permanent loss of earning capacity. Because claimants can also seek compensation for the non-economic impacts caused by their motorcycle collision injuries, such as pain and suffering or loss of the enjoyment of life, other types of evidence may be needed to prove the claimant’s damages. This may include evidence of the impact the crash has had on their daily life, such as testimony from family or friends, or the claimant’s journaling about the day-to-day difficulties they encountered as a result of their injury.
