Antigonish Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
If you were injured in a motorcycle accident, you may be able to access some financial assistance through your insurance provider. Insurance policyholders who sustain injuries in a collision may be able to claim accident benefits to help offset the cost of financial losses incurred as a result of the injuries they have sustained in a crash. However, depending on the severity of your injuries, the accident benefits available to you may not be enough to cover your total damages.
When negligent drivers collide with motorcycle riders, the consequences are often fatal. Motorcycle riders who are fortunate enough to survive a collision caused by a negligent driver often sustain severe, catastrophic, permanent injuries. The injuries sustained by the survivors of traumatic motorcycle accidents are frequently debilitating in nature and can negatively impact all areas of an injured accident victim’s life.
Injured motorcycle accident survivors often feel the adverse effects of their collision physically, psychologically, and financially. The process of readjusting to life after sustaining disabling or severe injuries can be difficult, demoralizing, and isolating. As such, severely injured accident survivors often develop additional disabilities in the form of serious mental health issues, including:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Insomnia
- Sleep disorders
- Alcohol use disorder
- And more
Furthermore, injured motorcycle accident survivors often incur substantial monetary losses as a result of the injuries they sustained in a collision caused by another driver’s negligence. These losses can be even greater if the injured accident victim’s newly acquired medical condition makes it impossible for them to perform the duties of their job. In these cases, injured accident victims could lose wages because of missed work, and even suffer from a reduced future earning capacity for work they will be unable to complete in the years following their accident.
All drivers throughout the province are legally required to provide a duty of care to all other road-users, including its more vulnerables ones. Motorcycle riders have only wearable protective gear like helmets to rely on in the event of a crash. As such, if a driver neglects their duty of care to other road-users and a collision with a motorcyclist ensues, the injured motorcycle rider’s life could be changed forever.
Negligent drivers whose wrongful conduct results in injury-causing accidents may be responsible for financially compensating the injured survivors of collisions they caused. Common examples of driver negligence that often leads to injury-causing motorcycle accidents include:
- Texting while driving
- Driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs
- Distracted driving
- Speeding
- Ignoring traffic signs/signals
- Improperly changing lanes
- Driving recklessly
- And more
