When you’re in need of a motorcycle accident attorney committed to your case, you should find one who has handled this type of injury claim before. This is because they will have done their research on the relevant case law and know how to approach your case with a clear understanding of what’s at stake. They will also be familiar with any special procedures that may apply to your case, such as those involving a limited-access highway or a federal court.
In most cases, motorcyclists are hurt by other drivers’ negligence. Whether they fail to look for motorcycles on the road, drive recklessly near them, or are simply distracted while driving, they can cause serious injuries to riders and passengers. Our firm fights to hold negligent drivers accountable and secure the compensation our clients need.
Our lawyers will help you file a claim with the responsible party’s insurance company and negotiate with them on your behalf. They understand the tactics insurance companies use to try to settle claims for less than they are worth, and they will work to make sure you get a fair settlement that fully covers your damages.
Your lawyer will also investigate the accident scene and gather evidence on your behalf. For example, they will take pictures of the accident site if it’s safe to do so and speak to eyewitnesses who can provide valuable information about what happened. They will also review the police report and determine who is at fault for the accident, and they will be able to tell you whether your claim is likely to succeed or not.
During the recovery process, your lawyer will ensure you are adequately compensated for your medical bills and any lost wages. The costs of treating a head trauma or spinal cord injury, for example, can be very high and will continue to cost you for the rest of your life. Your lawyer will make sure the compensation you receive will cover these costs as well as your pain and suffering, disfigurement, loss of enjoyment of life, emotional distress, and more.
In some accidents, manufacturers may be liable for the injuries that occur due to defectively designed or marketed motorcycles and related equipment. Your attorney will conduct a thorough investigation to determine if any products or components were involved in your crash and hold those responsible for your injuries.
