Motorcycle Injuries

Kentucky and Indiana Motorcycle Injury Lawyer

Experienced in Recovery for Catastrophic Injury
Brain Damage • Spinal Injury • Paralysis • Loss of Limb

First, let me say that I welcome all victims of motorcycle accidents. If you've suffered a broken arm, road rash, or other injury requiring medical treatment, I won't turn you away. Your case is as serious to me as it is to you.

I also handle catastrophic and disabling motorcycle accident injuries. If a family member was injured or killed in a cycle crash in Indiana or Kentucky, call me at (502) 609-7657 immediately for a free case evaluation.

I'm Jim Desmond, and I have witnessed the aftermath of many motorcycle crashes as a personal injury attorney practicing in northern Kentucky and southern Indiana. I know from experience that a motorcycle accident often results in horrible, life-changing injuries:

Traumatic brain injury
Paralysis (paraplegia/quadriplegia)
Fractures and shattered bones
Facial injury
Disabling loss of function
Chronic and debilitating pain

Amputation
Spinal cord injury
Neck injury and back injury
Eye injury
Scarring and disfigurement
Organ damage

Compensation for Motorcycle Injuries

Desmond Law Office will stick by you for as long as it takes, and pursue all avenues to recover compensation and reduce your financial burdens as you struggle to recover physically and emotionally. Even when another driver was at fault, there is no guarantee under Indiana or Kentucky law that the other person's insurance — or your own insurance policy — will fully cover your losses.

For automobile accidents in Kentucky, the first $10,000 of your medical bills and lost wages are covered under your no-fault insurance (PIP) policy. However, motorcyclists do not have PIP coverage unless they purchase this coverage from their own insurance company. Even if you did purchase this type of coverage, motorcycle injuries usually result in high medical bills — surgery alone might reach $50,000 — and no-fault benefits are easily exhausted.

Motorcycle accidents involve complex issues of no-fault (Kentucky) and Med-Pay (Indiana) insurance, the other driver's liability insurance, and your own Uninsured Motorist/Uninsured Motorist coverage. See Motorcycle Insurance Issues.

Without proper legal representation by an attorney who handles motorcycle claims, the insurance companies will try to deny your claim or pressure you to take a settlement for less than your losses.

Damages for Catastrophic Injury

If your injuries are permanent and disabling, Desmond Law Office of Louisville, Kentucky can help you recover comprehensive damages to cover:

  • Medical expenses not covered by your insurance
  • Future medical care, such as surgery, physical therapy, and home care
  • Lost wages and replacement of future earnings
  • Job training
  • Pain and suffering
  • Loss of enjoyment of life

I consult with physicians, economists, accident reconstruction specialists and other experts to prove negligence and develop a life care plan that covers all future needs.
