How to Prove Your Motorcycle Accident Claim

To recover damages, you will first need to prove liability on the part of the defendant – the person who caused the accident. Our motorcycle accident attorneys will help you establish that the defendant breached a “duty of care” owed to you as a fellow motorist on California roads and highways. Your attorney will argue that this breach of duty directly contributed to your injuries. This breach of duty is called “negligence.”  Your attorney will gather evidence of negligence to build your case. The evidence will depend largely on the cause of the crash. For instance, if you faced a head-on collision with a driver who made an unsafe left turn, your attorney may hire an accident reconstructionist to show a judge or jury exactly how the crash occurred. On the other hand, if the driver who collided with your vehicle appeared to be intoxicated at the time of the accident, your attorney will likely order a toxicology report to confirm whether – and to what extent – alcohol might have contributed to the wreck.  Litigating a personal injury case is a time-consuming – and often stressful – process for victims and their families. Nonetheless, being prepared to present a case to a judge or jury is one of the most effective ways to get an at-fault party to settle. Long before we consider filing a lawsuit, our team will gather and organize the evidence needed to litigate your case so that the opposing party knows that we are serious – and so that, should we decide to file, we are ready to proceed.

Proving Your Damages in A Brentwood Motorcycle Accident Cases

A motorcycle accident can leave substantial financial distress in its wake, from overwhelming medical bills to lost income and vehicle repairs. These types of expenses are called “economic damages,” that is, items that you can objectively and concretely verify. However, you may also be entitled to recover “non-economic” damages, which are intangible losses – and thus, often much more difficult to prove. Some non-economic damages may include emotional distress, loss of consortium, injury to your reputation, and lingering pain and suffering.
