What are the common causes of Motorcycle Accidents in New Brunswick

Motorcycle accidents are unfortunately common in New Brunswick, particularly around the Moncton area. Drivers of other vehicles often fail to notice motorcycles on the road, which can result in dangerous collisions when drivers change lanes or make turns without checking for them. Poor road conditions are another significant cause of motorcycle accidents in the province, with hazards like potholes, loose gravel, and debris being particularly dangerous for motorcycles. Additionally, poorly designed intersections and inadequate signage can contribute to accidents.

Speeding and reckless driving are also major causes of motorcycle accidents in this area. Riders who exceed the speed limit or engage in other dangerous behaviors, such as riding under the influence of drugs or alcohol, failing to yield the right of way, or performing stunts or other risky maneuvers on the road, are at a higher risk of being involved in a crash. Lack of experience and training is also a common cause of motorcycle accidents, particularly for riders who are new to the sport or have not received proper training.

To reduce the risk of being involved in a motorcycle accident in this area, riders should stay alert, obey traffic laws, wear proper protective gear, and stay up-to-date on the latest motorcycle safety information.

What are common physical injuries to motorcycle riders?

Motorcycle accidents can have catastrophic consequences for riders, mainly due to their lack of protection and the high speeds often involved in these incidents. In New Brunswick, Canada, the most frequent injuries resulting from these accidents are broken bones, dislocations, and fractures to different parts of the body. These injuries can lead to significant physical impairments, requiring extensive medical treatment, and potentially leaving the victim with permanent damage.

One common injury resulting from motorcycle accidents is road rash, which occurs when the motorcyclist skids across the pavement, leading to abrasions, cuts, and bruises. Depending on how the rider falls, their hands, knees, shoulders, and backs may be exposed to the harsh road, leading to severe lacerations and severe injuries.

Head injuries, including traumatic brain injury, are common in serious motorcycle accidents. These injuries can range from a mild concussion to more severe brain damage, leading to long-term health problems for the victim. Brain injuries can impact the victim’s cognitive abilities, making it challenging to complete everyday tasks, work, or carry out other activities that were once routine.

In addition to physical injuries, motorcycle accidents can also lead to continuing financial and emotional trauma for riders. The cost of ongoing medical bills, expensive rehabilitation treatments, motorcycle damage, and alternate transportation can be overwhelming, and many riders may struggle to afford these expenses. The loss of future income due to disability or reduced earning potential can be an additional financial burden, further compounding the challenges faced by victims of motorcycle accidents.

Emotional trauma can also have a lasting impact on the victim’s mental health, leading to conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and helplessness. These emotional wounds can make it difficult for the victim to move on with their life and earn a steady income, leading to ongoing emotional and financial hardship.

To receive fair compensation for the trauma, you will need to deal with an insurance company. NOVA Injury Law can help. Our team of lawyers will fight for your right to fair compensation and ongoing support, every step of the way. We understand the challenges faced by motorcycle accident victims and work to ensure they are fully compensated for their trauma. We handle the legal side of things so that you can focus on recovery.

How do you get fair compensation for your New Brunswick motorcycle accident?

If you’ve been in a motorcycle accident in Moncton or anywhere in New Brunswick or the Maritime Provinces, it’s important to act quickly. Contact NOVA Injury Law for a Free Case Review today. At this review we’ll look over all the necessary documentation, witness accounts and expert testimony, so that we can give you the maximum compensation you deserve.

We’ll determine who is at fault, and work with our team of medical experts, engineers and accident reconstruction professionals, to give you a clear picture of how the injury has affected you and what you stand to lose.

Can you get accident benefits after a motorcycle accident in New Brunswick?

We recommend that you contact your own auto insurance provider to cover any immediate medical expenses resulting from the accident. This coverage is known as ‘accident benefits’, or ‘Section B,’ and like other injury claims, it can be tricky to navigate. Our motorcycle accident lawyers have included a useful guide below, and you can use this to access accident benefits following your injury. Alternatively, you can book in a Free Case Review where you will receive this guide and more:

Your health comes first – Get medical treatment as soon as possible. Even if you don’t think your injuries are severe, the nature of motorcycle accidents are high-impact, and we recommend seeking medical help right away.
Fill out a notice of loss & proof of claim form – After you have contacted your insurer, they will send you these forms to complete. The first section requests personal information and information about the accident, and the second section is a request of authorization for the disclosure of your medical information to the insurance company. For the second section we recommend that you do not provide authorization to the insurance company, instead explaining to the insurance adjuster that you will provide all relevant information on request.
Ask your Doctor to complete your treatment form – In New Brunswick, a doctor, physiotherapist, or chiropractor can complete the treatment form on your behalf, after it has been sent to you by your insurer. This form must be filled out accurately so that your accident benefits are processed as quickly as possible.

Once you’ve submitted the forms to the insurance company they’ll assess and either approve or deny the accident benefits.

If you’re unhappy with the amount of coverage, or if your claim is denied – or even if you simply want assistance with completing these forms, contact NOVA Injury Law and schedule a Free Case Review.

Can you afford not to call a motorcycle accident lawyer?

Filing a motorcycle accident benefits claim can be a stressful and difficult process, and there’s no guarantee that insurance companies will approve the claim, or pay you fair compensation. Our team of motorcycle injury lawyers will help you to;

Review the accident, conducting thorough investigations, identifying witnesses and establishing liability, and collecting evidence to build you the strongest case possible.
Recording your injuries, working hand in hand with medical experts to determine the full extent of injuries, whether they are ongoing, and how they affect your daily life and capacity to work.
Work through the legal documents, drafting the necessary files in an efficient and timely manner.
Determine a fair compensation amount, so all your recovery needs are met.
Negotiate with difficult insurance companies on your behalf, and fight for your rights in court if need be.

But it’s important to seek help as soon as possible. Motorcycle accident victims who don’t seek legal advice right away can risk suffering delays in their cases and prolonged suffering.

We offer contingency fee agreements for all types of motorcycle injury claims in New Brunswick.

So there is no upfront cost to pay. Legal fees can vary depending on the case, and they are based on a percentage of the settlement or the amount awarded at trial. So it’s in our best interest to maximize your compensation!

Typically, our fees will range from 25% – 35%, depending on location and type of case. Of course, we will explain our fee structure and answer any questions you have during the Free Case Review.

At NOVA Injury Law, we believe in fighting for the individual. Once you put us in the fight, we don’t leave until you get what’s yours.

If you’ve been in a motorcycle accident in Moncton, New Brunswick, it’s important to act now.

Motorcycle injuries are severe by nature, requiring substantial medical, financial and emotional treatment.

Adding to our experience, we have a practicing emergency room physician with special training in occupational medicine consulting on all of our cases, as required. Having this expertise built into our practice means two things:

We have ready-made access to a doctor to provide advice on your injuries from the moment your Free Case Review starts.
Depending on your injuries, our doctor can then organize fast advice from a specialist. So if you have a fracture or a torn muscle or ligament, we would consult with an orthopedic surgeon or if you believe your eye-sight has been affected following an accident we would seek priority advice from an ophthalmologist. Likewise, our in-house physician can organize prioritized access to other occupational therapists who not only help our client’s recover from injury, but help us develop accurate forecasts of future recovery and rehabilitation needs.

From the moment you talk with us about your needs, you have immediate access to medical support and advice. It also gives our lawyers the greenlight to build medically-backed watertight compensation claims in a way no other personal injury law firm can.
