4 Steps to Take After Suffering a Brain Injury from a Motorcycle Accident
Brain injuries can be one of the most debilitating injuries from a motorcycle accident. Traumatic brain injuries typically require rehabilitation or long-term care at an inpatient facility, leaving you with significant medical expenses following a severe brain injury from a motorcycle crash.
If you suffer a traumatic brain injury from a motorcycle accident, you need to take the right steps to obtain medical treatment and protect your legal rights. Hoyt and Hoyt can investigate your case and help you get a fair settlement to pay for your injuries.
1. Focus on Your Recovery from a Brain Injury
Traumatic brain injuries can have profound effects, but some may not show for months or years after the injury, causing devastating effects years after the injury. The following are some of the consequences of a traumatic brain injury:
- Dizziness, headaches, and blurry vision
- Abrupt changes in mood or personality
- Trouble with memory
- Changes in sleep patterns
2. Keep Track of Medical Documentation
One of the most significant things you face following a motorcycle accident with a traumatic brain injury is the cost of your medical treatment. Tracking your hospital bills, medications, and rehabilitation records can help show that you suffered actual damages because of the other party’s negligence.
You should keep receipts for any additional damages, such as motorcycle repairs. Keep your pay stubs from before your injuries to prove your loss of income. Hoyt & Hoyt can help you calculate the intangible damages you have suffered due to your motorcycle accident.
3. Don’t Talk to an Insurance Company Alone
After an auto accident, the other driver’s insurance company may contact you to offer an initial settlement for your injuries, treatment, and economic damages. Study after study has shown that people who negotiate with an insurance company without being represented by an attorney do much, much worse in the settlements they achieve.
Avoid speaking with an insurance company without consulting Hoyt & Hoyt. We will negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf to ensure that you don’t accept less than what you deserve.
