Published on behalf of A: In general, motorcycle accident victims who miss time from work as a result of injuries have several avenues to recoup lost wages.
1. Motorcycle accident insurance. Some riders purchase special kinds of policies which may provide lost wage coverage. However, these kinds of policies are somewhat rare.
2. Disability benefits. Depending on the length of the disability, a rider may be able to make a claim through a work disability policy and/or eventually make a Social Security disability claim.
3. Lawsuit against the negligent driver. So long as the motorcycle accident was caused by another driver’s negligence, an injured motorcycle accident rider may be able to make a claim against that driver’s car insurance carrier. Eventually, a lawsuit may be necessary. Read about what to expect when filing a Philadelphia accident lawsuit.
