Idaho Motorcycle Accident Laws and Statistics

Motorcycle accident statistics on Idaho crashes are telling:  travelling by motorcycle can cause devastating personal injury and even wrongful death.  In 2006 alone, there were eight motorcycle accident deaths in Idaho – 14 percent of the 267 motor vehicle accident fatalities in the state that year.* Although nothing can erase the trauma of suffering an injury or the loss of a loved one, obtaining compensation to cover the losses and expenses stemming from a motorcycle accident injury or death can help reduce stress in the aftermath of the accident.  At Proner & Proner, our motorcycle accident attorneys fight for the rights of Idaho bikers who have been injured due to someone else's negligence.  When you enlist the services of our team, we will work diligently to obtain any damages to which you may be entitled.

Attorneys Dedicated to Protecting the Rights of Motorcycle Accident Victims

Proner & Proner is a motorcycle accident law firm well-known for its track record of successful case resolutions.  Our lawyers have extensive experience handling motorcycle accident claims and have obtained many settlements and jury awards for injured victims and their families. 

Types of Injuries  

The severity of a motorcycle accident injury depends on a number of factors, including the circumstances surrounding the crash and whether the motorcyclist was wearing a helmet.  An accident may cause relatively minor injuries such as road rash and broken bones. In an overwhelming number of motorcycle accidents, however, victims suffer catastrophic injuries, including back, burn, spinal cord, and brain injury, and even death. 

Motorcycle Accident Compensation

A motorcycle accident settlement or jury award is intended to compensate a victim for the financial losses he or she suffers as a result of his or her injury, including medical expenses, rehabilitative treatment, lost income, decreased earning potential, household expenses during recovery, and other relevant expenses.  The amount of the settlement or jury award depends on a number of factors, including the circumstances surrounding the crash, the severity of the victim’s injuries, and the skill of the victim’s attorney.

Filing a Motorcycle Accident Lawsuit

There are a number of steps involved in filing a motorcycle accident lawsuit, including investigating the accident and filing the proper documentation within the appropriate timeline.  Given the complexity of filing a lawsuit, it is advisable for victims to hire an experienced lawyer to handle their claims.
