What Compensation Can You Recover from a Motorcycle Crash?

If you’ve been hurt in a motorcycle wreck, you may be entitled to compensation for:

• Emergency care, surgeries, and medical treatment
• Ongoing physical therapy and rehabilitation
• Lost income and diminished earning potential
• Pain and suffering
• Property damage (bike replacement or repair)
• Emotional distress
• Wrongful death benefits for families of riders lost in fatal crashes

We build strong claims that reflect the true impact of your accident — and we don’t back down from insurance companies who try to lowball your recovery.

Common Injuries in Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents often result in serious injuries due to the lack of protection riders have compared to drivers in passenger vehicles. At Walt Moffitt Law, we regularly work with clients across Northwest Georgia who have suffered a wide range of physical and emotional injuries after a crash.

Here are some of the most common injuries we see:

Road rash

When a rider is thrown from their bike and skids across the pavement, the skin can be scraped or torn. Mild cases may heal on their own, but more serious road rash can lead to infections, permanent scarring, and may require skin grafts.

Traumatic brain injuries

Even when wearing a helmet, motorcyclists are at risk of suffering head trauma. Concussions, brain swelling, or bleeding in the brain can lead to long-term cognitive or neurological issues that affect every part of a person's life.

Broken bones and fractures

Fractures are extremely common in motorcycle crashes. Riders often suffer broken arms, legs, ribs, or wrists when they are thrown from their bike or hit by another vehicle. Some fractures require surgery and extensive rehabilitation.

Leg and lower body injuries

The legs are particularly vulnerable in motorcycle wrecks. Common injuries include shattered knees, broken ankles, and crushed feet. In some cases, these injuries can be permanent or require reconstructive procedures.

Spinal cord injuries

Damage to the spinal cord can lead to partial or full paralysis, chronic pain, or reduced mobility. These injuries often require lifelong care and dramatically affect the victim’s quality of life and earning potential.

Internal injuries

Internal bleeding and organ damage may not be visible immediately after the accident but can be life-threatening if left untreated. These types of injuries are often caused by blunt force trauma or being struck by debris.

Psychological trauma

In addition to physical injuries, motorcycle accident victims frequently experience emotional distress such as anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder. This emotional impact can interfere with a person’s ability to work, drive, or enjoy life as they did before.

If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle accident, getting proper medical treatment is essential — and so is speaking with an attorney who understands the long-term impact of your injuries. Walt Moffitt Law is here to help you get the compensation you need to move forward.
