Types Of Accidents

Being involved in a motorcycle accident can turn your life upside down in a matter of minutes. Which is why if you have been involved in a motorcycle accident, you should seek professional legal help immediately to protect your rights to compensation.

There is a cut off date (statute of limitations) for any legal action that limits the time you can seek compensation for your injuries, pain and suffering and property damage. In California that limit is usually set at two years, however, an experienced attorney will determine if there are any exceptions; bringing a suit against a government entity for example, has a six month statute of limitations.

By getting an experienced attorney, you only have to concentrate on getting better and taking care of yourself while they take care of everything else. They will gather facts and evidence that will help your case; starting with the traffic report, talking to witnesses, investigating and reconstructing the accident in addition to anything else that can help your case. They can even refer you to a doctor who specializes in injuries sustained in motorcycle accidents for treatment.

What Happened?

Motorcycle accidents happen within minutes that you do not know what was the cause of it. A motorcycle attorney will be able to use the existing evidence and investigate the damages to the motorcycle as well as the location of the accident and sometimes going as far as recreating the accident to figure out what happened.

An experienced motorcycle attorney will investigate and establish who’s at fault. Being a safe rider is always in your favor when establishing fault. Automobile drivers are less and less safe when driving; putting make up on, eating, using a cell phone, texting while driving deters their focus and creates dangerous conditions for a motorcycle rider. Accidents can be caused by various factors, be it an automobile driver, harsh weather conditions, unsafe roads and faded signs, even defective parts or bad repair work can be responsible. A motorcycle attorney will find out the guilty party and get you a fair compensation.

Insurance companies work to get settlements for the lowest amount possible. An attorney will deal with the insurance company so you don’t have to speak to them or give a statement that will damage your case. Insurance companies will use your statement to give you the lowest possible settlement amount, deny your claim, and at times use your own statement to turn around and blame the fault on you.

If you were involved in a motorcycle accident, insurance companies will offer an amount that may seem fair, however, an experienced attorney knows that there is more money for you and will fight to get it. They will get you compensation for your loss of work, future earnings, pain and suffering, medical bills, and property damage.

If the accident involved more than one party, there are other factors that determine how much compensation you can get, an experienced attorney will fight for you and get you the highest settlement from the accident.

Being involved in an accident can cause a lot of stress, not knowing what to do, where to go, who to talk to, which is why it is important to get an experienced motorcycle attorney who will deal with all the details and burden of taking care of insurance companies while you focus on getting better.
