How Much Is My Connecticut Motorcycle Accident Claim Worth?

The amount of your Connecticut motorcycle accident settlement will vary significantly depending on the specifics of your case. Factors that can impact your settlement’s size include:
  • Liability of the parties: If you are partially liable for your injuries, your settlement will be decreased.
  • The nature and severity of your injuries: Motorcyclists have little protection from an impact, so motorcycle accidents often result in more serious injuries than car accidents and other motor vehicle collisions.
  • Your prognosis for recovery: Longer recovery timelines and more intensive medical treatment tend to net higher settlements.
  • Property damage: Your motorcycle may be totaled, and your other property may be damaged.
  • Lost time from work: Your injuries might cause you to miss work and affect your ability to earn a living.
  • The effects on your life: You are entitled to recover compensation for your pain and suffering and reduced quality of life.
The amount of your potential compensation depends on the specific facts surrounding your motorcycle accident. Discussing your claim with an experienced attorney can give you a better picture of how much compensation you could recover in your case.
