Read moreLegal Considerations for Kansas City Motorcycle Accident Cases & Claims
Like car or truck accidents, motorcycle accident claims are affected by governing state laws. If you’ve been involved in a Kansas City motorcycle accident, one of the following auto insurance systems will apply:
- Kansas – Kansas is a no-fault state, meaning that drivers are required to carry no-fault Personal Injury Protection (PIP), which can help cover medical bills, lost wages and some other expenses up to a certain amount and regardless of who is at fault. If you are hit by an at-fault driver, we would assist you with obtaining PIP benefits from your own insurance company or the insurance company for the driver of the vehicle you were in. PIP benefits would be separate from any amounts we would pursue against the at-fault driver as compensation for your injuries. One of our Kansas-licensed attorneys can help you sort out getting PIP coverage and also compensation for your injuries from the at-fault driver. Motorcycle accident victims can still sue the liable party to recover compensation in cases where severe injuries have occurred.
- Missouri – As an at-fault state, the accident victim(s) receive compensation from the liable parties (or their insurance) involved in the accident.
Proving fault or another party responsible for the motorcycle crash is crucial to recovering compensation. If you or a loved one is a motorcycle rider injured in an accident due to someone else’s negligence, compensation may be awarded for damages. To prove fault in a motorcycle accident, the following must be true:
- Duty: The defendant (driver or operator of another motor vehicle) failed to uphold their legal obligation to act in a way that would not cause injuries to another party.
- Breach of Duty: Establishing that the defendant breached their duty of care or legal obligation to act in a way that would not injure others must be legally established to hold the defendant or their insurance company liable for damages that occurred as a result of the traffic collision.
- Causation: To seek full compensation for damages, it must be proven that the crash was the cause of injuries.
- Damages: Physical or emotional damages must have resulted from the accident in order for the victim to pursue compensation.
If you believe that all of the above is true, our Kansas city auto accident lawyers can help you file an injury claim properly! Our lawyers provide additional information about legal considerations specific to your case and build a motorcycle accident case against the liable party.
