Compensation from a motorcycle accident can be significant because of the seriousness of the accident. However, it depends on several factors, like the severity of the accident injuries, physical damage sustained, who is liable and insurance policies.
Regardless, you are entitled to the full cost of treatment — not just out-of-pocket expenses. You may also be entitled to punitive damages, such as pain and suffering, lost wages, etc.
