What is the average settlement for a motorcycle accident claim?
For better or for worse, there’s no such thing as an “average” settlement for a motorcycle accident claim. There are far too many variables at play for an average figure to be instructive.
Factors that could affect the value of an injured motorcycle rider’s settlement include:
- The severity of your injuries
- The specific type of injuries you suffered, such as bone fractures, sprains, strains, brain injury, etc. There are hundreds of different injuries and combinations of injuries.
- Whether your injuries will lead to long-term impairment
- The cost of your present and future medical care
- The extent of your lost wages from time off work
- Whether your injuries will affect your ability to continue your career or result in a loss of future wage-earning capacity
- The pain and suffering you’ve endured and will endure in the future
- How your injuries will affect your well-being and relationships
- How clearly other people are at fault for what happened and whether you were completely free of fault
