Types of Damages to Seek After a Motorcycle Accident

In any traffic accident where the other driver is at fault, it is imperative to seek the help of an experienced New Orleans attorney who knows how to maximize the damages and ensure you receive a just settlement if you’re injured in a vehicle-motorcycle crash.

Vincent P. Scallan Law are a group of skilled attorneys who will take an objective look at each of these these types of damages to make sure you get a fair settlement you deserve to cover both current and future losses incurred from the accident: 

1. Motorcycle Repairs and Total Loss

The first category you might want to look into is property damage. That's going to be a motorcycle fix or a complete loss.

2. Medical/Hospital bills

Any medical bills that you suffer or sustain as a result of your injuries can be claimed so ensure your medical records state you’re suffered an injury from a motorcycle accident.

3. Loss of earning capacity

Many people think of it as missed income. What you're looking at is the lack of earning potential both in the past and in the future. The past and future date normally becomes your trial date or any time you mediate.

4. Mental tension and suffering

This is the physical agony you are going through regularly when you’re performing day-to-day activities. There is also emotional anguish that has to do with the mental pain and trauma that you encounter while coping with these incidents. 

5. Punishment damage

Punitive damages are damages awarded for punishment for such conduct that warrants some kind of punishment above and beyond recovery solely for damages incurred by an accident. 

6. Wrongful death

In the unfortunate event that a motorcycle accident results in the death of a driver or passenger, compensation can be obtained from all of the parties involved.
