Fort Worth Motorcycle accident victims are not guaranteed to recover compensation, even if someone else's negligence caused their injuries. If damages are awarded, the amount varies depending on the injuries, the severity of their impact, and other factors.

Damages for personal injury claims in Fort Worth fall into three general categories: economic, non-economic, and punitive or exemplary damages.

Economic Damages
Economic damage awards provide compensation for financial losses that occurred as a result of the motorcycle crash and may include medical bills for:

Emergency room healthcare, including ambulance services
Past, present, and future doctor appointments
In-patient hospital care
Pharmaceutical expenses
Surgeries
Physical therapy
Other medical expenses
Economic damages also can include:

Lost wages
Lost income
Loss of earning capacity.
Non-Economic Damages
Non-economic damages can be more difficult to prove because they involve injuries that are intangible and difficult to evaluate. Examples of non-economic damages in motorcycle accident claims include:

Pain and suffering
Mental anguish
Scars or disfigurement
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Loss of companionship
Punitive Damages
In rare cases, a court may award punitive damages. These damages punish the defendant for egregious conduct by making them an example to other would-be wrongdoers. They may apply in drunk driving cases and other scenarios where a defendant acted intentionally or with reckless disregard for the safety of others.
