Legal Terminology
Motorcycle Accident Claim
A motorcycle accident claim, contrary to popular belief, is not suing for a motorcycle accident. It is the reporting of the accident to the proper entity to receive remuneration for the accident in a number of categories.
This entity is almost always an insurance company in everyday practice.
Motorcycle Accident Settlement
A motorcycle accident settlement is the concession of parties involved in the accident, typically the personally injured rider (and their motorcycle accident attorney), and the insurance company (and their attorneys) to pay for damages, both physical and otherwise.
Motorcycle accident settlements are in lieu of litigating an accident in court, going to arbitration or mediation.
Motorcycle Accident Lawsuit
A motorcycle accident lawsuit will become necessary if your motorcycle crash attorney is unable to convince the insurance company to settle your accident claim outside of litigation or mediation.
A lawsuit is typically synonymous with “suing”.
Motorcycle Accident Pain and Suffering
Pain and suffering is the legal term for the physical and emotional stress caused from a motorcycle accident injury.
When filing a claim as a result of an motorcycle injury, it is common to seek money both in compensation for actual monetary loss (such as lost wage earning opportunity or out of pocket medical bills) and for the pain and stress associated with virtually any injury. Motorcycle lawyer views
Property Damage
Property damage, in a motorcycle accident, refers to the non-bodily destruction of physical property such as the motorcycle itself, helmets, gloves, and belongings that were on the cycle at the time of the accident. Motorcycle accident lawyers discussion
Recovery of Motorcycle Accident Medical Bills
Your motorcycle crash attorney can help you to recover medical bills incurred as a result of a motorcycle accident in Pennsylvania.
This is accomplished either by negotiating a settlement out of court, or by prevailing in a motorcycle accident lawsuit.
Lost Wages Reimbursement
Your Pennsylvania motorcycle crash attorney will include, in a motorcycle accident claim, any wages that you missed out on earning as a result of being unable to work after your motorcycle accident in Pennsylvania.
Adequate Motorcycle Accident Insurance
Motorcycle accident insurance, unlike auto insurance, typically does not include any medical benefits.
Therefore you need to specifically think about the insurance coverages you carry to allow enough reimbursement for possible injuries in addition to property damaged as a result of your accident.
