Damages in Fatal Motorcycle Accident Claims
After a catastrophic motorcycle accident, the cost of emergency medical care will be steep, especially if the motorcyclist was not wearing a helmet and suffered severe head injuries. By some estimates, the cost of final medical care and revival efforts will average at least $300,000. Even with adequate healthcare insurance coverage, out-of-pocket expenses can add up quickly as those insurance policies cap.
The damages that could arise from a fatal motorcycle accident include:
- Final medical care costs: The cost of medical care used to try to save your loved one’s life can be the most significant economic damage pursued in your claim.
- Lost wages and benefits: You can seek damages equal to the wages and benefits your loved one likely would have earned in life had the fatal motorcycle accident never happened.
- Burial costs: The price of a burial and/or a funeral can also be repaid through damages, as long as those prices are deemed “reasonable.”
- Loss of companionship: You and your other loved ones can seek noneconomic damages for the pain and hardship you have felt due to the untimely loss of companionship and care.
To stop your finances from being drained, which will only make losing your loved one hurt even more, you need to demand fair and maximized compensation from the liable parties. Our Las Vegas fatal motorcycle accident attorneys can help by investigating the cause of your loved one’s death, calculating the damages owed, creating and filing a claim, and preparing for litigation.
Does It Matter If a Helmet was Used or Not?
Nevada has a contributory negligence rule that applies to personal injury and wrongful death claims. It allows a defendant to pay less in damages based on how liable the plaintiff was for their own injuries. If the plaintiff is found to be 51% liable due to their negligence, then the entire claim against the defendant can be dismissed.
Helmet usage becomes crucial in a fatal motorcycle accident case because of this contributory negligence rule. If your loved one was not wearing a helmet at the time of their death, then the defending insurance company will certainly argue that they were negligent and contributed to their own risk of severe injury or death.
