Motorcycle Accident Attorney in Stockton

Where applicable, typical damages for motorcycle accident victims include but are not limited to:

• medical expenses;
• property damage;
• lost wages due to inability to work;
• pain and suffering;
• emotional distress, 
• and loss of consortium or enjoyment of life.

That said, to be eligible for these damages, your case must satisfy the four elements of a motorcycle accident claim.

When pursuing a motorcycle accident claim, your case must satisfy these four important elements: 

Duty of care: This means that, in the context of a motorcycle accident, the other party had a responsibility to operate their vehicle safely and adhere to traffic laws.

Breach of duty: Once the duty of care is established, you should demonstrate that the other party was negligent, reckless, or failed to uphold their duty of care, leading to the accident.

Causation: Here, you must establish a direct link between the defendant's breach of duty and the injuries or damages you suffered.  

Damages: Finally, the last piece of the puzzle requires that you prove that you suffered actual damages as a result of the accident.
