Economic vs. Non-Economic Damages After a Motorcycle Accident
In this episode of “Motorcycle Law and Charity: A Guide to Riding Right,” host Kevin Rosenquist sits down with Richard Jaffe, partner at Riding Counsel and veteran motorcycle accident lawyer, to explore a critical issue for motorcycle riders: economic vs. non-economic damages after an accident.
Richard breaks down what these damages mean in legal terms, how they impact your case, and why understanding both is essential for protecting your future after an injury.
Drawing on decades of experience — and his background as both a rider and a paramedic — Richard explains the nuanced challenges of proving non-economic damages such as pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life, especially in front of a jury. He shares real-world examples that show how the same injury can affect people differently depending on profession, lifestyle, and personal circumstances.
Whether you’re a rider looking to understand your rights or someone curious about how a motorcycle accident lawyer works behind the scenes, this episode delivers a clear breakdown of the personal and legal realities of motorcycle accidents.
