• One final area in which Paramount Motorcycle/Bicycle Accident Lawyers assist injured clients is in the realm of what is known as punitive damages. In California, punitive damages represent a different type of monetary payment made to injured motorcyclists or bicyclists.

Punitive Damages for Motorcycle/Bicycle Accidents

Punitive damages are awarded in lawsuits when a determination is made the conduct of the person responsible for an accident was particularly reckless. For example, if an automobile driver was significantly above the BAC limit, drives through an intersection against the right-of-way, and strikes a bicyclist appropriately in the intersection, that conduct may be deemed particularly egregious.

• In addition to providing added monetary compensation to an injured person, punitive damages are also designed to punish the reckless actor that caused the accident in the first instance. Punitive damages also serve to send a message to other individuals to take care to avoid this type of conduct in the future.
