MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS
Although motorcycles are a lot of fun, they can also be very dangerous. In a collision with a car or truck, the motorcycle and its rider usually receive the worst injuries. Insurance companies don't like motorcycle cases because the injuries are typically more severe than a standard car accident. In an effort to protect themselves and minimize the value of your claim, the insurance company pays investigators, adjusters and attorneys to look for ways to dispute liability, dispute your injuries and minimize any settlement paid to you. Therefore, it is extremely important that you act fast following your accident to make sure that your rights are protected. We can help level playing the playing field.

AFTER AN ACCIDENT
The moments following an accident are crucial for your case. You should immediately start gathering the following information:

  • Obtain the contact information from the other driver involved in the accident, including name, driver's license number, address, insurance information, and any other important information.
  • Get the names, phone numbers and all contact information for any witnesses.
  • If possible, take notes about the accident, including the location, weather conditions, time, and anything else that may be relevant to your case.
  • Take photos of the location where the accident occurred, your motorcycle, and, if possible, the other vehicle(s) involved.
  • Immediately contact the police and your insurance company.
  • Refer all questions from the other party's insurance company to your attorney. Never give any statement to the insurance company without first retaining an experienced lawyer.
WHAT TO DO NEXT
If you've suffered injuries from a motorcycle accident due to the negligence of another driver, you'll need an experienced law firm with the knowledge and resources to assist you in receiving fair compensation for your injuries.

WHAT DAMAGES CAN I RECOVER?
Damages typically include the cost to repair your bike, medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, full or partial disability, future medical expense, future pain and suffering, permanent disfigurement (usually scarring or "road rash") and other related damages. Your attorney will discuss your particular damages in detail during your free consultation.

IS THERE A TIME LIMIT ON MY CLAIM?
Yes. All personal injury claims are governed by a Statute of Limitation. If you have not settled your case or filed litigation within this period, you will lose your right to recover. Be sure to discuss your particular statute date with your attorney.
