Motorcycle Accident Attorney in Raleigh
Motorcycle Accident Attorney in Raleigh
In North Carolina, the importance of hiring a motorcycle accident lawyer is the one thing you should never overlook if you or a loved one is a victim. That’s because the state follows the controversial and plaintiff-unfriendly contributory negligence laws. What this means is that if you are found even slightly at fault for the accident, you may be barred from recovering any compensation.
At Morgan and Morgan, we know that getting injured in a motorcycle accident in Raleigh or anywhere in North Carolina is the last thing you want to experience. The physical and emotional pain aside, you’ll likely have to deal with significant medical bills and other expenses related to the accident. Even so, insurance companies will try their hardest to blame you for the accident. These companies know that if they can prove that you were even one percent at fault, they’ll not be legally obligated to compensate you.
That’s where a Raleigh motorcycle accident attorney from our army of 1,000+ attorneys steps in to defend your rights. Contact us today for a free case evaluation.

What Am I Entitled To After a Motorcycle Accident?

Let’s start with economic damages.

Now, on to non-economic damages.
These are more subjective and involve intangible losses that don’t usually have a specific dollar value. Examples include:
In some cases, plaintiffs may be awarded punitive damages (only if the case goes to court), designed to punish the at-fault party for particularly reckless or egregious behavior that led to the accident. Unlike economic and non-economic damages, punitive damages are not focused on compensating the victim but on deterring similar conduct in the future.
