• Seek medical care at a hospital, urgent care center, or with your primary care provider
• Document the collision by photographing the scene and the vehicles involved
• Not speak with the other driver’s insurance company

How to Prove Negligence in Motorcycle Accident Cases 

Winning a motorcycle accident lawsuit requires you to prove the other driver caused the collision and the collision caused your injuries. You must prove both of these elements by a preponderance of the evidence, i.e., 51%. In addition to your testimony, evidence such as photos and testimony by independent eyewitnesses help you meet your burden of proof.

Damages You Can Recover in Motorcycle Accident Claims

You can obtain financial compensation by claiming economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages consist of your medical expenses, lost wages, and property damage. Non-economic damages are designed to compensate you for the mental anguish and pain and suffering you experienced.

Recovering Compensatory & Non-Compensatory Damages

In addition to being required to prove the other driver’s negligence, you must also prove you were injured due to the collision. Along with your medical expenses, Connecticut State law allows you to claim the costs related to your rehabilitative or custodial care as part of your economic damages claim. Further, you can also claim the mental anguish you experienced as part of your non-economic damages claim.
