Compensation Benefits for Your Injuries
If you or your family member was involved in a serious motorcycle accident, you may be unable to work for a time because of your injuries. Your injury may have left you partially or permanently disabled, limiting your employment opportunities. When you have no income, it can be difficult for you and your family to pay monthly bills in addition to expensive medical and rehabilitation costs.
The good news is that under Ontario law, you can obtain benefits and compensation for your medical expenses and economic losses following a serious motorcycle accident. The policies and procedures of obtaining these benefits can be difficult, however. I am personal injury lawyer Tim Leigh-Bell. As your advocate, I will help you protect your rights and maximize the insurance settlement to which you are entitled.
Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries
Motorcycles have little structural protection to keep you safe if you are involved an accident. Many motorcyclists who experienced cycle crashes suffer serious injuries that can significantly impact their ability to work and their quality of life. Typical injuries of motorcycle accident victims include:
- Head injury such as a skull fracture, concussion or traumatic brain injury (TBI)
- Back or spinal injury, which can lead to limited mobility or paralysis
- Shoulder dislocation or separation
- Broken collarbones, wrists, elbows, legs or other fractures
- Abrasions, commonly known as road rash
- Loss of limb/amputation
- A combination of any of these injuries
- Fatal injuries
Furthermore, the effects of these injuries can often result in disfigurement and scarring, which can impact self-esteem and overall quality of life.

My legal team and I maintain a comfortable office atmosphere that is both friendly and informal.
