You pay nothing until we win

If you’ve been involved in a motorcycle crash and have suffered injuries as a result, you may be facing missed time at work, expensive medical bills, and a painful recovery process. This may lead you to wonder what you can do in this scenario to protect your financial future.
If someone else was responsible for causing your motorcycle crash, you can seek compensation from their insurance company. In some cases, you might seek compensation by filing a lawsuit against the negligent driver in civil court.
Lawsuits are complicated and might not be necessary for financial recovery. Always begin by consulting a Caldwell motorcycle accident attorney from Andrew Injury Law.
Anyone deemed “at fault” can be sued following a motorcycle accident. As such, any individual who causes a motorcycle accident could be held liable for the following:
If one of the responsible parties for the accident is a motorist, the lawyer representing you can determine if filing a lawsuit is the best course of action.
The majority of motorcycle crash cases are typically resolved through auto insurance claims. You may file a claim for personal injury with the responsible party’s insurance provider if you were not at fault for your motorcycle accident. Your motorcycle accident lawyer can negotiate with the insurer to seek a fair settlement covering your losses. If they obtain an appropriate settlement offer, you can sign a settlement agreement, receive a check, and resolve the matter without a lawsuit.
Not every motorcycle accident case can be resolved directly with the insurance company. Insurers want to protect their bottom lines, so they often minimize settlement offers to the detriment of injured claimants. They also often have motorcyclist bias, blaming motorcyclists for their own accidents and injuries to reduce or avoid liability. In such situations, your attorney might need to take the matter to court by filing a lawsuit to seek the compensation you deserve.
Proving who is liable in a motorcycle accident lawsuit will require your lawyer to gather and present solid evidence to support your claim. Evidence you will need can include witness statements, photographs of the motorcycle damage and accident scene, and police reports.
Your attorney can also gather additional evidence, such as cell phone records, expert opinions, and video footage. You must also document your injuries and their impact on your daily activities through medical bills, journals, and employment records. Moreover, you should record medications, treatments, and any other changes in medical conditions to strengthen your claim.
Always consult an experienced attorney to ensure you have the appropriate evidence to prove your case.
