When you're injured in a motorcycle accident, you need to have the best lawyer to get the best advice and the best settlement possible. The insurance companies will make it difficult for you to get a good settlement. They hire lots of lawyers and adjusters to avoid paying fair compensation to good people who are injured in motorcycle accidents.

Here are some of the items of compensation you may be entitled to:

1. Property Damage: The cost of repairs or the fair market value of your motorcycle plus reasonable compensation for loss of use.
   
   
2. Medical Bills: Reasonable cost of medical treatment for your injuries including necessary future treatment.
   
   
3. Loss of Income: Reimbursement for lost wages including future loss of income resulting from future disability.
   
   
4. Pain and Suffering: Reasonable compensation for pain and suffering including future pain and suffering. WARNING: IN MOST CASES YOU MUST BE INSURED IN ORDER TO COLLECT DAMAGES FOR PAIN AND SUFFERING.

It use to be that you were, supposed to have insurance. But the truth was that if you didn't and the other guy hit you, you were pretty much okay if he had insurance. That's changed. Now, under California law, if you don't have insurance you cannot collect damages for pain and suffering no matter how reckless or wealthy the other guy is.

Yes, that's right. Proposition 213 passed by the voters implemented California Civil Code Section 3333.4 which provides that an uninsured motorist cannot collect damages for pain and suffering no matter how reckless or wealthy the driver that hit him was. So protect yourself, make sure you're insured and, by all means, ride safe.
