CONCORD, NH, November 16, 2012 (Press-News.org) If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident, the expense of your injuries may be catastrophic. If the accident was not your fault, you may be interested in filing a personal injury claim. In this type of claim, you are essentially alleging that the other driver was careless and thus caused the accident and your resulting injuries. With a personal injury claim, you may be able to reach a settlement with the other party to recover compensation. Otherwise, you may have to take your case to court in a lawsuit. An experienced personal injury lawyer can develop a legal strategy for your case.
Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries
Because motorcycles offer so little protection to the rider, the injuries caused in a motorcycle accident can be quite catastrophic. Some common injuries include:
- Traumatic brain injury
- Skull fracture
- Spinal cord injury
- Burns
- Amputation
- Internal injuries
These injuries can alter your life and the lives of your family members. You may face disability, resulting in an inability to work. The medical bills resulting from your injury may be staggering. And you may be dealing with devastating emotional pain and suffering.
If someone else caused this accident, you deserve to be compensated for the cost and impact of your injuries.
What is Personal Injury Law?
If you choose to hire a personal injury lawyer, the lawyer will pursue compensation for certain things associated with your injury, including:
- Medical bills
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
Personal injury claims are legal disputes. If you are injured in some kind of accident and you believe the accident is someone else's fault, you can file a personal injury claim to seek compensation from the responsible party.
When you go to a personal injury lawyer, he or she should develop the most effective legal strategy to recovering fair compensation for your injury. Oftentimes, a personal injury case is resolved in a settlement, in which you can agree to an offered amount in exchange for not pursuing a lawsuit.
If both parties cannot agree on a settlement amount, your lawyer may continue with a lawsuit. In a lawsuit, your personal injury lawyer must prove the other party was negligent and that this negligence caused your injuries. Negligence is carelessness, and another driver can cause an accident when they drive carelessly.

Comments On The Texas Petition For Secession
2012-11-16
Chuck Thompson's article in the New Republic responds to the recent 80,000-signature-strong petition to the White House requesting that Texas be allowed to secede from the union. Thompson writes: Rather than secession, which would radically fracture our nation, Texas should be granted semi-autonomy in the form of "political and social expression in exchange for diminished power in federal government."
Thompson, author of "Better Off Without 'Em: A Northern Manifesto for Southern Secession," is definitely no conservative sympathizer, and concludes ...
Filed for Bankruptcy? Don't Spend That Tax Refund Yet
2012-11-16
Why Federal Tax Refunds Matter in Your Bankruptcy Case
The federal income tax refund is considered to be your property under bankruptcy law - even if you haven't received it yet - which, unfortunately, also means that the bankruptcy trustee will consider this money as an asset in both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 cases, subject to his or her control and disposition. (See 11 U.C.S. Section 541(a)(1) and 11 U.S.C. Section 1306(a)(1).)

Illinois Work Comp: Widow's Suit Barred by Borrowed Employee Doctrine
2012-11-16
The past July, an Illinois appeals court affirmed a lower court ruling that stated a widow of a maintenance man who died in an accident while repairing a garage door at a car dealership may not sue in court for her husband's wrongful death.
Rather, his status as a "borrowed employee" at the dealership made a workers' compensation award her only legal remedy. Because workers' compensation covered the incident, it was the "exclusive remedy," preventing other types of legal claims, including her wrongful death lawsuit.
Explaining the Workers' Compensation ...
