The types of damages that you may be eligible to recover in a Duluth motorcycle accident case depend primarily upon the severity of your injuries and the extent of your medical treatment. If you sustained a severe injury requiring multiple medical procedures, the amount of compensation that you may be eligible to recover would likely be more than if you had just suffered a minor injury that needed minimal treatment.
In motorcycle accident cases, you may be eligible to recover economic damages. These are out-of-pocket costs associated with the accident and your injuries, including:
- Cost of medical treatment, medical procedures, physical therapy, and rehabilitation
- Lost wages if you cannot work while recovering after the accident
- Anticipated costs of future medical expenses or treatment
In addition to these economic damages, you may also be eligible to recover non-economic damages. These damages compensate individuals for the pain, suffering, and inconvenience they suffered from injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident. The motorcycle accident victim may recover compensation for:
- Emotional distress
- Mental anguish
- Permanent disability
- Loss of spousal companionship and family support
In some cases, the injuries an accident victim sustained in a motorcycle collision were so severe that the accident victim passed away. When that happens, the accident victim’s surviving family members may bring a wrongful death claim on behalf of their deceased loved one. A Georgia wrongful death claim can allow them to recover monetary compensation from the at-fault party for:
- Funeral expenses
- Future loss of income from their loved one
- Pain and suffering their loved one experienced leading up to their death
- Loss of their loved one’s support and companionship
