Yes.
In a recent study, between 10 and 25 percent of California motorcycle accident victims who go to the hospital have suffered some degree of facial injury as a direct result of the motorcycle crash. If you have experienced facial injuries in a motorcycle accident, a motorcycle accident attorney can help you understand your legal rights and pursue compensation for medical expenses, emotional suffering, and other damages.
One of the greatest challenges of facial injuries following a motorcycle or bicycle accident is the psychological and emotional effect it can have on a person's social life. The following are frequent side effects of a serious facial injury from a motor or bike accident:
- depression,
- loss of self-esteem, and
- loss of confidence.
Sometimes the victim's work may be difficult, and their family life can suffer too. All of these damages or interferences can be part of the motorcycle or bicycle victim's settlement demand package. These are considered "value drivers" in terms of settlement value too, and as such, they must be thoroughly documented by medical providers in great detail. Before and after photos are quite helpful for these types of injuries too.
