Motorcycle Accident Overview (Part B)
Filing an Iowa Motorcycle Accident Claim
If you have suffered personal injuries in an Iowa motorcycle accident, you may be eligible for compensation. In an Iowa motorcycle accident claim, you may recover damages including your medical expenses, any pain or suffering that you have experienced as a result of the motorcycle accident, and any wages that you have lost or may lose in the future because of your injuries.
To be eligible for filing an Iowa motorcycle accident claim, you must show that you were the victim of someone else's negligence. This may be easily determined by the facts that are recorded in the police report, or it may be more complicated. In some cases, you may have to prove negligence in court.
To establish negligence in your Iowa motorcycle accident claim, you and your Iowa motorcycle accident lawyer will have to prove that:
- under the circumstances, the driver who injured you owed you a duty of care;
- the driver failed to uphold that duty; and
- the driver's failure to uphold that duty resulted in your personal injuries.
This can be accomplished through the evidence you submit that supports your version of the events. Good examples of evidence that help prove negligence in your Iowa motorcycle accident claim include:
- police reports;
- medical records;
- your damaged motorcycle;
- witness statements;
- photographs of the accident scene and your injuries; and
- other items specific to your case.
Your Iowa motorcycle accident lawyer can help you gather important evidence pertaining to your claim as well as explain any challenges or complexities you may face as your claim progresses.
Filing a Claim for Defective Design
Because a motorcycle's basic design makes it more exposed and less stable than automobiles, there are several cases where a motorcycle accident is the result of defective design. In such a case, the motorcycle manufacturer may be liable for an accident victim's injuries. If you feel you were the victim of a defective design, you should immediately consult an Iowa motorcycle accident lawyer about your options for pursuing compensation.
