In Connecticut, motorcycle accident victims are eligible to receive three types of damages as part of their compensation. They are:
A motorcycle accident can leave you with lifelong injuries and a substantial financial burden. If you have been involved in a motorbike crash, consider hiring an experienced motorcycle accident lawyer near Connecticut to help you with the claims process.
This refers to any type of damage where you are going to seek monetary compensation for post-accident out-of-pocket expenses. These can include treatment fees, rehab costs, prescription drug costs, and even lost wages. If you believe the injury has directly led to these expenses, feel free to cite it in the legal claim. You can end up receiving access to funds through compensation by listing these economic damages.
This refers to any type of damage where you are not going to be paying out-of-pocket but it still has an impact on your quality of life. These can include injuries, damage to your car, stress, anxiety, depression, and any other impact that has changed how you live your life. If you believe the injury has changed how you live and/or your mental health, list these under non-economic damages.
The last type of damage refers to punitive damages. These damages are built around the legal standards set in Connecticut for personal injury cases. If the judge believes the defendant was negligent and broke the law, then additional punishment can be handed out.
This can include fines and/or prison sentences depending on what took place and what the evidence shows.

The very characteristics that make riding a motorcycle in Connecticut exhilarating are the same that can lead to life-long injuries. Narrow roads in rural Connecticut towns, long stretches of congested Hartford and New Haven highways, and weather conditions that change hour by hour are some of the conditions that motorcycle operators face. These can also lead to serious injuries even in low-speed accidents for those driving without the benefit of seatbelts, airbags, and cabs.
A motorcycle accident at any speed on a poorly maintained Connecticut road can cause serious personal injuries, including broken bones and head trauma. Oftentimes, the mechanism of injury is unlike that for any other type of motor vehicle crash. Unfortunately, not every motorcycle operator injured in an accident because of the negligence of another is compensated. This is sometimes because the general public, insurance companies, and investigators don’t always understand the rules by which motorcycles operate. This makes it vitally important for your attorney to know the regulations that govern the way motorists treat motorcycles. Your attorney must also understand the “unwritten rules” of operating a motorcycle in Connecticut.
We have represented motorcycle operators involved in serious accidents who were riding alone, in groups, or as a part of charity rides. Each requires special consideration of riding style and guidelines. In any accident, our goal is to get you healthy, proper compensation, and back on the road.
We’re ready to discuss your case, and create a winning legal strategy that maximizes your personal injury compensation.
