Getting Compensation for Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycles and motorbikes are involved in only a small portion of road accidents. Statistics show that only about 1% of traffic on our highways are motorcycle and motor bike riders. Ridership has been increasing steadily though, because of high energy costs. It only takes a few gallons to fill the tank, and they get great gas mileage. Many drivers are abandoning larger vehicles for these types of vehicles.

Motorcycle accident claims are small in number, but they suffer 19% of deaths and serious injuries. Recent statistics reveal over 600 motorcyclists died in traffic accidents, in 2002, and 7000 suffered from serious injuries. Head injuries are the most common cause of death and serious injuries for motorcyclists, and are 45 times more likely to be killed than a driver of a car.

Motorcycle Accident Causes

The main reasons that accidents occur are other road users, poor highway maintenance of road surfaces, and the lack of any type of physical restraints or protection for the rider, and the lack of visibility to other highway users. There is only a 1/3 visibility of that of an automobile.

General Rules for Motorcycle Accident Victims

1. If the police are on the scene, make sure that a detailed report of the accident is taken, even if it seems unimportant. The smallest damage of the bike, personal injury, or anything carried on the bike can be important for a successful accident claim.

2. You can make a claim for compensation if the accident was not your fault or was only partially your fault. The speed at which you were traveling, along with whether you were wearing a protective helmet will be among the details that will be important when fault is being determined.

3. Accidents need to be reported as soon as possible because timeliness is very important. If the person responsible for the accident either doesn't stop or has no insurance, you can still make a claim. It is however, handled by the Motor Insurers Bureau. This is an organization that provides compensation for accident victims involving uninsured drivers, and hit and run cases.

It isn't easy... dealing with a motorcycle accident or injury can be complicated and needs to be taken care of quickly and with professional help. If you've been seriously injured and can't take care of it quickly, the best thing you can do, is to find a personal injury attorney to handle your claim details for things like injury assessment, accident reports, claim preparations, and so on.

Most importantly, you don't have to risk anything because of a "no win- no fee" arrangement, that means if your case wins, you keep the settlement, and if it loses, your attorney pays all the cost.

Be Safe. Don't Take Extra Risk

Even though motorcycle riding is a wonderful experience, it is very risky, and injuries can be very serious, sometimes fatal. Don't take another risk by trying to handle your claim by yourself after an accident, or employ a company that cares more about the money than about your well being and a successful claim. Use a personal injury attorney that will take your case on a "contingency" basis.(No win-No Pay)

When a cash advance is needed before the case settles, look for companies that advance cash on pending lawsuits that are only repaid when and if your case reaches a successful recovery. There are no risks, no monthly payments, no upfront fees, and no credit checks on lawsuit loans.

Legal Funding on Medical Mistake Lawsuits

Medical Mistakes are all too common in our nations hospitals and health care facilities today. Thousands of lives are lost each year because of medical mistakes. Many wrong diagnosis, treatments, and surgeries occur due to a number of reasons.

Medical staffs are often overworked and in stressful conditions. Medication dosageages are not always monitored and administered correctly. Files are often switched unknowingly. Surgeries are not properly marked and specified as to what needs to be done, and sometimes surgical equipment is left inside the body, causing serious damage and infection. When mistakes occur, often there is nothing a person can do but suffer the loss of a job, way of life, or a friend or loved one.

Most patients do receive quality care even in these conditions, and changes are being implemented to reduce these mistakes caused by human error. Many facilities are using computer monitoring and record keeping to keep better track of patients and conditions.

Ways You Can Help

1. Find "accredited high tech hospitals"

2. Ask if healthcare workers follow correct protocal and procedures.

3. Ask lots of questions so that you know what is being done, and what the
expected result will be.

4. Ask what medications you will be receiving and what medications you
already take, and what they are for.

5. Check the computerized wristband for accuracy.

6. Seek a second or third opinion if you feel the diagnosis may be wrong.

7. Listen to your body and pay attention to warning signs.

When mistakes do occur, and a lawsuit is filed, non recourse legal funding is often available before a case is settled, and provides injured parties with much needed cash until the case is finally settled either in or out of court.
