Choosing the Right Injury Lawyer
In order to obtain the compensation you deserve after being involved in a motorcycle accident, you need the legal expertise of an experienced attorney. Many of these claims have been successfully handled by our injury lawyers over the years. A major injury motorcycle crash isn’t necessarily the same as one involving a pedestrian, motor vehicle or bicyclist, and that is what makes it important for you to obtain the right representation when you’ve been injured by a negligent driver or other entity in a collision.
Motorcyclists Can Face Prejudice From Insurance Companies and Juries
We know it doesn’t sound fair, but motorcyclists are sometimes viewed by others as irresponsible and risk takers. People who have that view often think that riding a motorcycle is dangerous and don’t understand anything about riding one. Our accident attorneys are adept at educating juries or dealing with insurance companies to counter these misperceptions. We’ve helped many riders after a motorcycle crash, I even wrote a booklet that answers commonly asked questions. You’re welcome to look over The Motorcycle Accident Handbook on our website.
What You Can Recover in Compensation From Filing a Claim
If your accident was caused by a negligent driver, you have the right to file a personal injury claim to recover compensation, which partly includes:
- All medical expenses related to your major injury motorcycle crash are recoverable. This also includes future costs if your trauma is ongoing, which your accident attorney will factor into your settlement.
- Compensation for your pain and suffering can be recovered. Many injured people suffer not only physical pain but emotional trauma from an accident.
- Wages that were lost due to your injury are recoverable. Lost wages include any bonuses you normally receive in your job, such as insurance coverage and pension benefits.
