Recovering Compensation After a Motorcycle Accident
You Got Knocked Down. Now Let’s Help You Get Back Up.
A crash changes everything. One minute, you’re riding free. The next, you’re dealing with pain, bills, a wrecked bike—and a whole lot of questions.
Who’s gonna pay for this?
How long will I be out of work?
Will insurance cover anything?
Do I need a lawyer?
Here’s the truth: if someone else caused the crash, you have the legal right to recover compensation—and The Biker Lawyers are here to make sure you get every dollar you’re owed.
What Can You Be Compensated For?
After a motorcycle crash, you can file a claim for damages that go beyond just fixing your bike.
Here’s what we help you recover:
- Medical bills (ER visits, surgery, physical therapy, medications)
- Future medical care (for long-term injuries or permanent damage)
- Lost income (if you had to miss work)
- Loss of future earnings (if you can’t return to your old job)
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage (your bike, helmet, gear, etc.)
- Scarring, disfigurement, or permanent disability
If a loved one was killed in a crash, we also help families file wrongful death claims.
Frequently Asked Questions About Recovering Motorcycle Accident Compensation
Click the (+) on any of the questions below.How much is my motorcycle accident case worth?
Every case is different. It depends on your injuries, lost wages, medical bills, and how your life has been impacted. We’ll help you calculate the full value.
Do I have to go to court to get compensated?
Not always. Most cases settle before trial. But if the insurance company won’t be fair, we’re ready to fight it out in court.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim?
In Iowa, 2 years. In Minnesota, up to 6 years. The sooner we start, the stronger your case.
What if the driver who hit me didn’t have enough insurance?
You may still be covered under your uninsured/underinsured motorist policy. We’ll dig into your coverage and file that claim if needed.
What does it cost to hire The Biker Lawyers?
Nothing up front. We only get paid if you win. If we don’t recover anything for you, you owe us nothing.
Can I still file a claim if I didn’t go to the hospital right away?
Yes—but timing matters. Let us review your case and medical timeline to help build the strongest claim possible.
How Do Motorcycle Injury Claims Work?
Here’s how we break it down:
- Free Case Review – We listen to what happened, ask the right questions, and give you honest feedback.
- Investigation – We dig into the crash: police reports, video footage, witness statements, and more.
- Medical Records – We work with your doctors to understand the full scope of your injuries.
- Negotiation – We go after the insurance company with facts and legal leverage.
- Settlement or Lawsuit – If they won’t pay fair, we’ll take them to court.
You focus on healing. We’ll handle everything else.
What If I Was Partially At Fault?
In Iowa, you can still recover compensation as long as you’re not more than 50.1% at fault. Your payout might be reduced, but you’re not out of the game.
Don’t let the insurance company scare you off with blame tactics. Let The Biker Lawyers look at the facts first.

When Should You Call a Lawyer?
The sooner, the better.
Why? Because:
- Evidence disappears fast (skid marks, camera footage, etc.)
- Witnesses forget or disappear
- Insurance adjusters start calling—and recording you
- Medical bills pile up before you’ve even healed
Let us step in before they twist your words or lowball your claim.
