Motorcyclists face the possibility of severe bodily harm on the road because they must share the road with much larger automobiles. Unlike drivers in automobiles, people who ride a motorcycle are more exposed to injury given that these vehicles are open-air vehicles. Because of this motorcycle riders are less protected than those riding in a car, bus, or truck, the damage to a person on a motorcycle can be very severe.

A motorcycle accident in New Hampshire could occur for a variety of reasons. Automobile drivers often become distracted and do not see the cyclist on the road. Further, some drivers erroneously believe they have more rights than people who drive motorcycles and become enraged when a motorcyclist is nearby or causes them to slow down. As a result, drivers begin to drive more aggressively. In addition, the New Hampshire streets can often be crowded causing dangerous collisions.

Motorcycle Injury Compensation

Motorcycle injuries that occur as a result of an accident are generally eligible for personal injury compensation. A motorcyclist who has suffered injuries caused by a negligent driver may receive payment. Payment for pain and suffering, disfigurement, emotional distress, economic loss, and repair or replacement of the motorcycle are among the potentially recoverable damages.

The court divides damages between two categories, general and specific.

General damages are those that necessarily flow from the injury. General damages include, but are not limited to, damages for emotional and physical pain.

Special damages include, but are not limited to, medical bills, medication, and physical therapy.

Severe motorcycle injuries can result in expensive medical treatment and lengthy recovery times. Victims would rather have avoided the accident altogether, however, if a motorcyclist does have an accident, these cases can be worth a significant amount of money. Less severe accidents can result in less compensation, especially if there was less pain and suffering, less of an emotional effect, and less lost wages.
