Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What compensation is available in a New York motorcycle accident?
A: A motorcycle accident often leads to serious injuries due to the nature of this type of collision. The motorcyclist has very little protection when hit by a car, truck or other vehicle.
Motorcycle accident injuries fall under the category of personal injury. If you have been injured in a New York motorcycle accident, you can pursue compensation from the driver who caused your accident. Compensation in a motorcycle crash may include compensatory damages and punitive damages.
Compensatory damages, which are also referred to as actual damages, are designed to put you back into the same position you were before the accident. This compensation includes your medical expenses and lost income, in addition to any other actual and proven losses or injury.
Punitive damages are awarded if the accident was intentional or if the behavior was appalling. For example, if the other driver deliberately does something to cause you harm, punitive damages may apply.
