A video recently emerged out of Russia showing a motorcyclist crash his bike into the back of a car on a highway.
Personal bias or preconceived judgement should not play a role in compensating an injured motorcyclist, but there’s no escaping human nature. Many people distrust — or even dislike — motorcyclists, and members of the jury are not immune from this prejudice. Juries may be less likely to award handsome verdicts to motorcyclists – compared to the driver or passenger of a car. Insurance adjusters are aware of this bias, and may reduce their settlement offer appropriately. For this reason, the burden of making a concrete case, and proving the key issues described in this article, becomes even more important for an injured motorcyclist.
You should call a car accident lawyer and your lawyer should have access to a database of verdicts and settlements, and will use that to find cases with similar injuries and circumstances to yours, and the settlement or trial verdict amounts in your jurisdiction.

The video was caught on a dashboard camera, and shows what is either an accident or a stunt. If it was an accident, this guy can count himself very luck, if it was a stunt, someone needs to get this guy a job in Hollywood asap. Either way, the video is definitely worth a watch.
