Healthcare.gov reports that the treatment for a broken leg can cost a patient without insurance an average of $7,500. The total cost of care after a motorcycle accident will be a big factor in how much you receive in a settlement. But other factors, like how much time you miss at work and your physical and mental anguish, will also boost what you take home in compensation.
Kaufman & Stigger Injury Lawyers has secured settlement checks written for hundreds of thousands of dollars for accident victims. For severe and permanent leg injuries, we’ve won multi-million dollar settlements for victims who needed lifelong recovery support.
Settlement Amounts for Louisville Collision Victims
Motorcyclists have very little protection when traveling on busy roads like I-71 or Hwy 60. Even a minor bump from a careless driver can send them into other vehicles and most certainly to the road surface for another impact.
Riders often suffer major injuries, including fractured legs. This affects their ability to enjoy family time, perform work responsibilities, and more certainly keep them from riding a motorcycle for a while.
Kaufman & Stigger Injury Lawyers fight to get injured riders everything they need while giving them time to focus on healing without worry. We’ve spent decades demanding the most possible for motorcycle accident victims. You can find these and other examples on our Tiger Wins and Awarded Settlements Page.
- A woman who suffered a fractured leg and a knee cap injury after being struck by a truck earned a $775,000 settlement check
- A victim struck by a bus suffered permanent leg damage. We helped the victim secure over $5 million for the lifelong support required
These are just a couple of examples, but every case is different. Some broken legs are minor injuries and only result in around $1,000 in bills built up in an emergency room. But some injuries are much more serious and require surgery and long recoveries on crutches or in a wheelchair. Victims forced to endure this difficult process should never wonder how they’ll support themselves.
Determining What You Should Demand After a Louisville Motorcycle Accident
Injured motorcyclists must get the most in compensation possible so that they can afford the best care available and are able to rebuild their lives.
Determining the level of support a motorcycle collision victim should receive will depend on several things unique to each case. These are just a few of the factors that your attorney should be demanding full compensation for:
- Totals on all medical now and the expenses expected in the future
- Estimates on a lifetime of support needed in the case of a motorcyclist who suffers a permanent disability
- The cost of physical therapy and medical equipment
- The level of support victims should receive for the pain they must endure and the emotional trauma they must face
- Travel costs during recovery going to doctor’s appointments and physical therapy
- Totals on lost income and benefits while a victim can’t return to work
