Establishing liability against one or more defendants in a negligence case is only the first step in recovering compensation for motorcycle accident injuries. It is also essential to develop and present detailed documentation of your damages claim — in other words, we have to prove that the defendant is liable to you in a particular amount.
Our attorneys have long experience with the proof of damages claims in serious motorcycle accident cases, including such injuries as the following:
- Traumatic brain injury
- Closed head injury
- Neck and back injuries
- Spinal cord trauma resulting in paralysis or quadriplegia
- Amputation, usually of a foot or leg below the knee
- Internal organ damage
- Severe cases of friction burn or deep "road rash"
Proof of damages involves more than documentation of the injury itself. It also involves a detailed presentation of evidence as to the severity of your condition, the projected duration of your convalescence, any expected disabilities or loss of function, and the cost of rehabilitative therapy. For the worst brain and spinal cord injury cases, the need for in-home assistance, adaptive technology, and physical therapy will be presented through expert witnesses.
In the most severe motorcycle injury cases, there is a strong likelihood that the amount of compensation you have coming will exceed the limits of the other driver's liability coverage and your own uninsured or underinsured motorist policy. In order to maximize the prospect of your full financial compensation, we investigate the potential liability of as many possible defendants as we can find, so that your ability to collect full damages is maximized.
Finally, because many of our motorcycle accident clients suffered their injuries while visiting from other states, we take care of the practical and logistical details associated with your emergency treatment and transfer to other hospitals. In fatal accident cases, we work effectively with families around the country to handle details ranging from coroner's reports to proper transportation of the deceased — all while investigating and developing your South Carolina wrongful death lawsuit.
