Types of motorcycle accidents we handle
Our Fort Wayne motorcycle accident attorneys stand up for victims of all types of motorcycle crashes. Cases we handle include:
- Left turn accident – When another vehicle turns directly into the path of an oncoming motorcycle.
- Slide-out and over-brake accident – Sometimes, when a biker is trying to avoid a crash with a larger oncoming vehicle, they over-brake. The wheels skid, they lose control of the motorcycle, and a bad accident typically follows.
- Ejection – If a motorcycle makes an abrupt stop, is hit by another vehicle, or strikes an object, the impact often causes the rider to be ejected from their bike.
- Road debris or change in road condition – Unexpected debris like sand, gravel, leaves, junk, etc. can cause an accident if the biker has to suddenly stop or swerve and a motorist is following too closely.
- Merging, changing lanes – A glance at traffic by a negligent driver likely won’t be enough to keep bikers safe. This type of accident can often be fatal for bikers.
- Rear-end accident – Just a “tap” from another vehicle can knock a motorcycle rider off their bikes. Tailgating, or otherwise following too closely, is often the cause behind this type of crash.
- Dooring – A vehicle doesn’t have to be moving to seriously injure someone on a motorcycle. Dooring accidents are when the door of a parked or stopped vehicle flies open right in front of a bike. This type of accident can almost always be avoided when people check for vehicles and pedestrians before opening doors.
- Head-on collision – These often happen when a motorist crosses into the oncoming lane of traffic.
- Fatal – The deadliest injuries for a motorcycle rider are to the chest and head.
Average motorcycle accident settlement
Because every motorcycle accident is unique and can result in a wide range of injuries of various severity, it is hard to provide an estimated average settlement for a motorcycle accident in Indiana.
However, we can tell you that many motorcycle accident claims settle for tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Some even end with million-dollar verdicts.
Compensation is typically determined by the type and severity of your injuries and how the crash has detracted from your quality of life. Common motorcycle accident injuries include:
- Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).
- Spinal Cord Injury (SCI).
- Back injury.
- Whiplash and other neck injuries.
- Burns, cuts, bruises.
- Fractured bones.
- Amputated limbs.
- Internal organ damage.
While past results are not a guarantee of how much you are eligible to collect, you should know that Boughter Sinak, LLC always seeks maximum compensation. Among our case results is recovering $1.4 million in damages for the family of a fatal motorcycle accident. In another case, we recovered $225,000 for an injured biker who was ejected from their motorcycle in a crash.
