Standing Up for Motorcycle Accident Victims
A study by the Connecticut State Department of Public Health found 907 motorcycle accidents occured in 2020. Of these 907 collisions, 66 resulted in motorcycle riders losing their lives. Because of the severe injuries and high rates of death that occur in motorcycle accidents, insurance companies hire aggressive defense attorneys to defend motorcycle lawsuits. The attorneys at the Carter Mario Law Firm are not afraid to litigate difficult cases on behalf of their clients against powerful insurance companies and their defense attorneys.
Steps to Take After Suffering a Motorcycle Injury
The time following your motorcycle accident is crucial. Following these steps can increase the strength of your case:
- Contact the police
- Do not speak with the other driver
- Seek medical attention
- Identify possible witnesses
- Photograph the scene of the collision
- Photograph your injuries
- Do not speak with the other driver’s insurance company
- Contact a Hartford motorcycle accident lawyer
By following these steps, you maximize the possibility of your injuries being documented and properly treated. Additionally, you also increase the chances of vital evidence being recorded and preserved, which can increase the strength of your case.
Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accidents occur for a variety of reasons. The common causes of motorcycle accidents include:
- Speeding
- Drivers driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Drivers failing to pay full time and attention to their surroundings
- Drivers following too closely
- Drivers performing unsafe lane changes
Connecticut Motorcycle Helmet Laws
Unlike many other states, Connecticut does not require motorcyclists to wear helmets. However, Connecticut State law requires motorcycle drivers and passengers under the age of 18 to wear helmets while driving or riding a motorcycle. Underage drivers or passengers who fail to wear helmets face a potential fine of at least $90.
Proving Negligence in a Motorcycle Injury Case in Hartford
To win your motorcycle accident lawsuit, you have to prove the other driver committed an act of negligence that caused the collision. Specifically, you must prove the other driver caused the collision by a preponderance of the evidence, i.e., 51%. Additionally, you must also prove the collision caused you to suffer injuries and damages.
Damages You May Recover in Your Motorcycle Accident Claim
Damages is another way of describing the compensation you seek in a personal injury lawsuit. You can seek compensatory damages for your past and future medical bills, past and future lost wages, and other expenses for rehabilitation and medical treatment. You can also seek non-compensatory damages for the pain and suffering you endured because of your injuries.
What Are Compensatory & Non-Compensatory Damages?
According to Connecticut State law, compensatory damages are the economic losses you suffered due to another person’s negligence. In addition to your medical expenses, you can seek compensation for the cost of your rehabilitative care and your reduced earning capacity if you cannot return to work fully. Connecticut State law defines non-compensatory damages as your non-economic losses, such as the physical pain and mental trauma you experienced.
Statute of Limitations on Motorcycle Accidents in Hartford
Each state has its own statute of limitations. This means if an injured victim does not file a lawsuit within a certain period of time following an accident, they lose their right to sue. Under Connecticut State law, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases, including those involving motorcycles, is two years.
