Motorcycle Accidents in California
A crash can leave you with significant injuries that have a major impact on your ability to work or even enjoy recreational activities. Unfortunately, you are not alone when it comes to dealing with the devastation that many motor vehicle accidents bring. There are countless instances where people have to go through extensive medical treatment and spend weeks off work to recover. In some cases, victims are left permanently disabled following their accidents. Regrettably, when motorcycles are involved in these accidents, the severity of injuries is generally increased.
If you have been hurt as a result of a motorcycle accident, it is crucial that you understand your legal rights. If another person’s negligence has caused your crash to occur, you can seek financial compensation for the resulting damages. This can include your lost wages from taking time off work, the medical costs you face immediately after your accident and long term, and even the costs of repairing your vehicle.
In order to recover compensation, you must file a personal injury lawsuit against the person responsible. In California, even if you share some of the responsibility for the accident, you can recover compensation from the defendant based on the percentage of fault they contributed to the accident. For example, if you were found to be 10 percent at fault, you can recover damages from the defendant in the amount that is reduced by the 10 percent that you share fault for. It is important that you reach out to a California motorcycle accident lawyer immediately. Your attorney will get to work quickly on building your case and fighting for fair compensation for you.
