Your Trusted Personal Injury Lawyers in Waterford, CT
Motorcycles are an enjoyable and efficient means of transportation, often used on the roads of Connecticut. When everyone is obeying the rules of the road, motorcycles are a perfectly safe way to travel. However, if an accident occurs, motorcyclists may suffer serious injuries. Motorcycles lack the protection that cars provide, which can result in devastating consequences for riders.

We understand the potential life-altering effects of these injuries, and we are here to help you get the compensation you need.
Motorcyclists often suffer the same injuries as victims in other types of motor vehicle accidents, compounded by the lack of protection between the cyclist and the ground. Common injuries in Waterford motorcycle accidents include:
All motorcycle injuries can leave victims with medical expenses, an inability to work, and emotional trauma. If you suffered injury in a motorcycle accident, you should contact an attorney as soon as possible to recover the maximum compensation you deserve.
After a motorcycle accident, victims must exchange insurance information with the other drivers. Connecticut is an at-fault state, meaning that the party responsible for the collision must pay for the other party’s injuries. After an accident, each party files a claim with the other party’s insurance company. The insurers determine who was responsible for the crash.
A Waterford attorney could help you file your insurance claim for motorcycle accident injuries promptly and ensure it contains all the necessary documentation for approval. Industry experts suggest that most claims are denied or returned because they lack adequate supporting information. The legal team at Polito & Harrington could review your submission and make certain you have included everything the insurance company needs.
Some types of injuries, such as spinal cord injuries and traumatic brain injuries, may require long-term care. Victims with this type of injury need higher settlements to meet this expense.
