Question:

Is the motorcycle shop I went to, liable for damage to the motorcycle after the brakes I had worked on failed?

Approximately 3 weeks ago I brought my motorcycle to a repair shop because the front brakes were locking up (already caused one accident with one of my friends). They informed me that the bike was fixed and could be picked up. I jumped on the bike and rode off. Before I even reached 500 ft the brakes locked up again and threw me off the bike at 50 mph causing severe road rash along my entire body and fractures in my foot. My question is: is the repair shop liable for all costs involved, i.e medical costs, repair of the bike, pain and suffering? Here are some random facts:The bike is relatively new with 1200 miles on itI never signed anything waiving my rights for the repairsmy wife was following me in my car and seen the whole accident, now she has nightmares seeing me tumble lifelessly through the air. Should I attempt to seek therapy for her ?
