Chances are the injuries you sustain if you were involved in a motorcycle crash are worse than if you were to be involved in a passenger vehicle crash. Since a motorcycle does not have the same protection as a passenger vehicle, a rider can be thrown quite far from the actual accident scene. Even if you do not feel that the injuries are extensive, you should always contact the police, your insurance company, your motorcycle accident attorney and, most important – you should always immediately go to the doctor or hospital to be thoroughly checked out.
Because of the adrenaline rush your body puts forth after being in an accident, you may not feel certain injuries. You could easily have a concussion and not realize it. A motorcycle injury attorney will fight to ensure rightful compensation. You may be entitled to medical bill reimbursement, a bike rental or replacement, and, if the other driver was committing a malicious act on your person, you may be entitled to punitive damages.
