Understanding Motorcycle Accidents in California
Before we dive into the average settlement amounts for motorcycle accidents in California, it is important to understand the factors that can impact these settlements. These factors include:
Severity of Injuries
The severity of the injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident can impact the settlement amount. The more severe the injuries, the higher the settlement amount is likely to be.
Liability
Liability plays a significant role in determining settlement amounts. If the other party is found to be at fault for the accident, their insurance company may be responsible for covering damages.
Insurance Policy Limits
The insurance policy limits of the at-fault party’s insurance company can also impact settlement amounts. If the policy limits are low, it may be more difficult to receive a higher settlement amount.
Other Factors
Other factors that can impact settlement amounts include the amount of property damage, lost wages, and medical expenses.
