Who’s Liable For Your Motorcycle Wreck in Kentucky?
At Kinnard Law, we help victims and families seek financial compensation following preventable accidents. By pursuing a personal injury or wrongful death claim against an at-fault party, you can seek financial responsibility for the damages suffered.
While every case is different, this may mean pursuing liability against:
- A motorist who caused the wreck by driving drunk, driving distracted, or committing other negligent or wrongful acts.
- A driver who ran a red light, made an unsafe lane change, failed to yield, or violated another traffic law.
- A commercial vehicle operator (or their employee) responsible for a bus or truck accident.
- The manufacturer of a defective product, including unsafe motorcycle parts, faulty brakes, or tire blowouts.
- A local government or municipality responsible for crashes caused by its employees, or accidents resulting from roadway defects or unsafe conditions.
Though wrongdoers can be held liable for the damages they cause, victims have the burden of proving fault and liability. In motorcycle accident cases, effectively proving your case requires extensive investigation, collaboration with experts, and the insight of experienced legal minds.
Motorcycle Accident Compensation in Kentucky
Motorcycle riders have little to protect them against physical harm, which is why riders face elevated risks of suffering serious injuries, including:
- Broken bones / fractures
- Spinal cord injuries / paralysis
- Brain injuries / brain damage
- Loss of limbs / amputation
- Disfigurement and disability
These and other injuries can come with many consequences – both for victims and for families. By prevailing in a case, victims can recover financial compensation for losses arising from their accidents, as well as any related losses they may face in the future.
This includes compensation for economic and non-economic damages such as:
- Medical bills (treatment, surgery, rehabilitation, etc.);
- Future medical expenses (for serious or permanent injuries);
- Past and future lost wages (for victims unable to work at all or perform the same job due to their injuries);
- Physical pain and suffering;
- Emotional suffering, including lost emotional support or loss of quality of life;
- Burial or funeral expenses.
How Insurance Companies Handle Motorcycle Accident Claims in KY
Your motorcycle accident settlement or verdict depends greatly on the facts of your case, and how your accident or that of your loved one impacted your life. A lot also depends on your ability to build a strong case you deserve, and take on the powerful corporations that commonly defend against them. Often, this requires:
- Gathering and preserving evidence;
- Interviewing, witnesses, and other involved parties;
- Communicating with insurance carriers;
- Conducting discovery (the formal process of requesting evidence and documentation), and conducting depositions;
- Working with experts who can assist with accident reconstruction and liability determinations, as well as medical experts who can provide their opinions about a victim’s injuries and prognosis;
- Negotiating a settlement out of court, or litigating a case to verdict at trial.
Insurance companies know motorcycle accidents can mean serious injuries, and they work aggressively to deny, dispute, or underpay victims. By working with a proven lawyer, you can level the playing field with insurance corporations that care more about profits than people, and benefit from the support and resources of a trial practice that has the tools to seek the maximum compensation possible.
