In order to get damages following a motorcycle crash in Kokomo, victims must determine the cause of the accident. Our attorneys can assist on this front by investigating the crash, obtaining evidence, and seeking assistance from experts who may be able to pinpoint the exact reason for your recent motorcycle accident.
Determining the exact cause of an accident requires careful analysis of the available evidence. Because of this, our motorcycle accident lawyers will obtain information relevant to the collision, such as the police report, eyewitness statements, surveillance footage, photographs, and evidence from the scene, and review it in full to identify the cause of the incident. We may also enlist an accident reconstruction expert who can review the fallout of the accident to determine its cause. Statements from such experts can be especially useful during compensation claims for injured motorcyclists in Kokomo.
Though each motorcycle accident is unique, common causes of these incidents include passenger car or truck drivers operating vehicles under the influence of drugs or alcohol or while fatigued. Because motorcycles are much smaller than many passenger cars and trucks, negligent drivers might not consider looking for motorcyclists when merging, changing lanes, or making turns, resulting in accidents. Such accidents might be more dangerous when they happen on one of the highways in the area, such as Routes 31 and 35.
Single-vehicle motorcycle accidents might happen when roads are poorly maintained, leading to cracks or potholes. Such hazards might cause motorcyclists to spin out of control and hit telephone poles, parked cars, moving cars, or medians. Such accidents might happen at night when visibility is low, and motorcyclists have difficulty seeing hazards on the road.
When victims are injured in motorcycle accidents, documenting those injuries is of the utmost importance. Without enough evidence detailing their injuries and subsequent treatment, victims might struggle to recover sufficient compensation in Kokomo.
After you get into an accident while riding your motorcycle, your primary concern should be receiving medical care for your injuries and documenting them. This is necessary for your physical health and the success of your case. By going to the emergency room, you create a medical record of your injuries. You can expand upon this record by following the guidelines of your treatment plan and seeing the medical specialists necessary to treat you and aid in your physical recovery.
If you bring a claim for certain injuries and cannot show that those injuries exist, you might not succeed. Because of that, our lawyers will urge motorcycle accident victims to get continuous care for any injuries related to a crash so that there are no substantial gaps in their medical treatment. This will allow you to show your commitment to physical recovery and the full scope of medical damages and injuries. Our attorneys can also have qualified medical experts review your records and give statements regarding your anticipated recovery time and the likely treatment you will need moving forward.
Since motorcyclists are not protected from accidents in the same way that passenger car and truck drivers are, they may be more likely to incur debilitating injuries that lead to overwhelming financial losses. Such damages may be compensable in your claim in Kokomo, provided we prove that you have suffered them.
Generally speaking, damages can be broken down into two categories: economic and non-economic. Economic damages are what victims are typically most concerned about recovering, as they have a concrete impact on their lives. For example, the cost of treatment for a sprained wrist can be extreme, let alone the cost of traumatic brain injuries, which are common among motorcycle accident victims. Furthermore, the cost of transportation to and from the hospital while receiving treatment could be considerable alone. As you incur expenses related to the accident, report them to our lawyers so we can include them in our calculation of your total financial losses. If you cannot return to work because of the accident, we can also factor your lost wages into your total damages.
Whenever someone sustains a serious injury, it is bound to impact their emotional well-being, even if only temporarily. Recovering compensation for emotional and mental anguish following a motorcycle crash is possible for victims in Kokomo. However, because non-economic damages are subjective, proving they are deserved can be challenging. Our attorneys can help you document your pain and suffering so that we can show why you deserve compensation for non-economic damages in your case.

Don is a founding partner and one of the nation’s top-ranked personal injury litigators. He is a member of the Multi-million Dollar Advocates Forum, which includes less than 1% of the nation’s trial lawyers, and awarded the highest ranking given by Martindale Hubbel and AVVO.
More importantly, Don understands representing personal injury victims is about more than recovering the best settlement: it’s about helping clients get back on their feet and supporting them in every aspect of their recovery.
In nearly all cases, our clients seek compensation from the wrongdoer’s insurance company. Before forming Wruck Paupore, Jason worked for a prominent law firm representing some of the world’s largest insurers. This experience gives Jason a deep understanding of the insurance industry and the strategies it uses to pay injury victims as little as possible.
Jason -- and our entire team -- put this inside knowledge to work to force insurance companies to pay what is actually owed. Often, we use the insurance company’s own tactics against them as we fight for the full compensation our client deserves.
For more than four decades, Keith has been fighting for injury victims. During that time, he’s watched the insurance industry change, with insurers now more interested in protecting their stock price than treating injury victims fairly.
Since the beginning, Keith has put people first. From his childhood in Gary, Indiana during the 1960’s and working his way through law school, Keith has risen to become one of the Midwest’s most respected trial lawyers. He has never forgotten that being a lawyer is about helping people -- and seeing injury victims through struggles in a way that could change their lives forever.
Over the decades, Keith, Don and Jason have fought relentlessly for clients, even when other lawyers have said the case was impossible to win.
