I HAVE BEEN IN A MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT—WHAT DO I DO NOW?

WE RECOMMEND YOU RETAIN AN EXPERIENCED LAWYER

If you or a loved one has been involved in a motorcycle accident, it is advisable to have an experienced and skilled personal injury lawyer take on your case. Just like any motor vehicle accident case, the laws are complex and the insurance companies tend to deny liability, and provide the most limited benefits, even in the best of cases.

YOUR CLAIM MAY HAVE TWO PARTS: ACCIDENT BENEFITS AND TORT

Accident Benefits are provided from your own insurance company and are generally there so you can receive treatment and other assistance as soon as possible. Your Tort claim is filed against the at-fault driver for additional compensation that is not available through Accident Benefits such as pain and suffering. These two sources of benefits work together to hopefully make you fully compensated. While your Tort claim may take years to settle, Accident Benefits should start immediately, providing you with the treatment and rehabilitation you need at the early stages of recovery.

While Accident Benefits may be helpful following a serious crash, often times the compensation available through your own insurer are inadequate. It is the duty of your lawyer to pursue the at-fault driver in a civil law suit and seek the most compensation possible.

WHAT IF THE OTHER DRIVER CLAIMS HE DID NOT SEE ME?

It is not uncommon for a motorist to claim that they did not see you on your motorcycle. Motorists have a duty to look out for motorcycles and exercise caution to avoid collisions. Although motorcycles may be more difficult to see at times, that does not permit a motorist to escape liability for the accident.
