Motorcyclists have very little protection in the event of a crash. In addition to road rash, broken bones, and deep lacerations, life-changing injuries such as spinal cord damage or traumatic brain injuries are common.

What Is My Motorcycle Accident Claim Worth?
Many of our clients wonder what the average motorcycle accident settlement is, as they hope that will give them an idea of what they could recover. However, even if it were possible to calculate an “average” settlement amount, it would not tell you how much compensation you qualify for. Every personal injury claim is unique, and your payout will depend on your unique losses.
While we cannot tell you what your case is worth before learning about all your financial and non-financial losses, we can tell you about the types of damages we typically collect for motorcycle accident victims. In general, you may qualify for economic and non-economic damages. If you lost a loved one in a motorcycle accident, you may qualify for wrongful death damages.
Economic Damages
Economic damages are the direct financial losses you incurred because of your motorcycle accident. Common examples include:
- Medical bills, including ambulance transportation, emergency room care, surgeries, physical therapy, medications, and assistive medical devices
- Lost wages, including loss of future earning capacity, if your injuries force you to take a lower-paying job or prevent you from working completely
- Necessary home and vehicle modifications to accommodate your injuries
- Household services you can no longer perform, such as yardwork and childcare
- Transportation expenses if you cannot drive yourself to medical appointments or on other necessary errands
- Property damage, including repairing or replacing your motorcycle
Non-Economic Damages
Many people who choose to handle their own legal claims neglect to account for their non-financial losses. Non-economic damages do not have an inherent monetary value, but they compensate you for the physical, emotional, and mental consequences of a motorcycle crash. Examples include:
- Pain and suffering
- Inconvenience
- Mental anguish
- Emotional distress
- Disability
- Disfigurement
- Lost enjoyment of life
- Lost quality of life
Wrongful Death Damages
Sadly, due to the lack of protection a motorcycle provides, many motorcyclists lose their lives in fatal crashes. According to the Ohio State Highway Patrol, 230 motorcycle riders passed away due to serious injuries suffered in accidents throughout the state in 2023.
If you lost a loved one in a motorcycle wreck caused by someone else’s negligence, our Cincinnati wrongful death lawyers would be honored to lead your fight for justice and fair compensation while you take time to grieve. Your family may qualify for various wrongful death damages, such as:
- The decedent’s medical expenses
- Funeral costs
- Burial or cremation expenses
- Loss of support and services
- Loss of consortium, companionship, guidance, and care
We cannot promise a specific settlement or judgment amount in your case, but our previous case results show what we are capable of. To learn more about what damages you may qualify for, contact us today at The Fitch Law Firm LLC.
The Last Thing You Should Worry About Is How You’re Going To Pay For Your Medical Bills.
