Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries
Motorcycle accidents typically happen in one of two ways: the rider is thrown from their bike and onto the pavement, or the motorcyclist collides with a car or truck at rapid speeds. Without the protection automobiles provide, such accidents result in serious injuries. Some of the most common motorcycle accident injuries include:
-
Concussions
-
Cuts
-
Fractures
-
Limb loss
-
Paralysis
-
Road rash
-
Scarring
-
Spinal cord injuries
-
Torn tendons
-
Whiplash
-
Soft tissue sprains and strains
-
Wrongful death
Any of these injuries could prevent you from working and earning an income as you normally would. Thus, you may be owed compensation from the person responsible for the accident. If you’re unsure of how to go about obtaining a settlement after a motorcycle accident in Edmonton, the team at McCourt Law Offices can guide you through the process.
How to Determine Fault
In Alberta, drivers and passengers of motorcycles, mopeds, etc. must wear approved motorcycle helmets. If you were not wearing a helmet at the time of your motorcycle accident in Edmonton, your insurance company may view this as contributing to your injuries, which could reduce your settlement. However, it does not mean the accident is your fault.
Also , if you alone crashed your motorcycle, you may still have insurance benefits available. Some motorcycle insurance plans include accident benefits, which may cover you even if you caused your accident. As such, you may still entitled to to "no-fault" benefits.
