A good accident lawyer can help you get the compensation you deserve for your injuries.

This blog post will discuss what to look for when hiring an accident lawyer for a motorcycle accident and injury.

Is it worth hiring a motorcycle accident lawyer?

How do motorcycle accident lawyers help? Should you hire an experienced motorcycle accident attorney? We think legal representation is a good idea.

Accidents involving motorcycles tend to be pretty serious. Many motorcycle accident victims suffer serious, long-lasting injuries.

If your bike was damaged in an accident caused by another motorist, it may be worth retaining a motorcycle accident attorney to seek compensation.

Who is responsible for Motorcycle Accidents?

The at-fault party may be responsible for medical costs, serious injury that require extended medical treatment and physical therapy, lost pay and wages, and claims involving wrongful death.

An accident victim attorney can help prove the negligence of another motorist and help you pursue monetary compensation for your injury claim.

Suppose someone was driving recklessly or drunk driving or a friend or family lost their life due to negligent driving. In that case, it may be necessary to file a personal injury lawsuit to demand compensation from them.

We think retaining a qualified attorney for your injury claim is an excellent choice to protect your legal rights.

We offer a free legal consultation for motorcycle accidents, car wrecks, and trucking accident claims.

You’ll want to know how much compensation you deserve

Motorcycle accident cases are often serious and can cost tens of thousands of dollars in medical bills.

During recovery, you may not be able to work. Recovery can take time. Some wrecks result in extended hospital stays and physical therapy.

You may obtain compensation for these losses, including lost wages, the inability to work in the future, permanent injuries and disabilities, and pain and suffering.

It’s reasonable to seek compensation for medical costs and bills you receive, even if major medical insurance coverage may be available.

Collecting Documentation after a Motorcycle Accident

If you have suffered a loss in a recent case, you may be required to provide evidence to insurance adjusters. That’s where a motorcycle accident lawyer comes in.

It’s good to consult with a lawyer immediately to protect your legal rights.

An experienced attorney will work to discover/preserve things like traffic camera footage, witness statements, accident reports, and the relevant evidence necessary to prove the other driver’s negligence.

A motorcycle accident lawyer may work on a contingency

Many motorcycle crash victims fear the cost and lack of representation from the legal profession. That’s understandable.

Fortunately, most personal injury and motorcycle accident attorneys are prepared to handle cases in contingencies. We provide a free case evaluation.

We recommend people seek legal counsel immediately, prior to giving a statement to the insurance company and their adjuster.

The Insurance Settlement Offer is Rarely High Enough

When your vehicle is damaged in a motorcycle crash, a fair settlement in an insurance claim should include property damage, compensation for severe injuries and permanent injuries, loss of range of motion, and financial recovery that represents all your damages.

Insurance providers all too often refuse claims for accidents resulting from a motorcycle collision. They may deny liability. The insurance company may allege “contributory negligence.”

You should immediately consult with a motorcycle accident lawyer in the event the insurance company refuses to accept liability or makes a low ball offer.

A motorcycle injury lawyer protects injured riders. Fair compensation includes holding the negligent driver (the other driver) and their insurance company responsible. for personal injuries and losses.

Your motorcycle accident lawyer can collect documentation of your injuries and prepare a demand package.

Should I handle my case alone?

You are not required to hire a motorcycle accident lawyer.

You can collect documentation of your medical bills, lost wages, and make a demand to the insurance company.

In fact, you can serve as your own lawyer if you file a wrongful death lawsuit or make formal legal claims for damages after a motorcycle crash.

Having said that, we think that will put you at a tremendous disadvantage.

Experienced motorcycle accident lawyers understand how complex these cases can be. They take time. Protecting your legal rights, even in a minor accident, is part of what lawyers and personal injury law firms do.

Liability isn’t always straightforward

In some cases, the cause of an accident may be unclear.

Motorcycle crashes can cause serious injuries in North Carolina

In many cases, injuries suffered by a motorcycling accident are extremely grave as there is little protective equipment the bike provides.

The laws of North Carolina require motorcyclists to wear helmets.

Despite wearing protective helmets and protective closing to help mitigate “road rash,” motorcyclists still have to face serious injuries.

In most motorcycle accidents, serious injuries need to be treated immediately and often require medical attention.

Motorcyclists vs. Motorists

Car vs motorcycle collisions are a major contributing factor in wrongful death and serious bodily injury accidents.

It’s estimated that thousands of motorcycle accidents could be prevented by improving passenger-car collision detection systems.

Using vehicle safety systems like front crash detection and blind spot detection designed for the detection of motorcycle vehicles may reduce the risk of a crash or injury.

When is the best time to hire a lawyer?

We think it’s a good idea to retain legal counsel and involve an attorney in the process as soon as is reasonably practical. Obviously, that assumes you need a lawyer in the first place.

Don’t call it an “Accident”

There are often important legal rights to preserve that may, in certain circumstances, affect the value of your claim and determine whether you have a case (insurance claim) at all.

If you’re hurt and need to go to the hospital, don’t wait. Seek immediate medical care and treatment. Protect yourself and others from further harm.

Know this: Big insurance companies and their adjusters regularly call victims of accidents, hoping to get a recorded statement or settle quickly.

They may even try to contact you at the hospital or while you’re laid up at home, offering to visit you and talk about the case.

Don’t be fooled. It’s not because the insurance company cares about you or how you’re doing.

Insurance adjusters have a job.

They want to settle a case for as little money as possible. In fact, if they can completely deny a claim by alleging contributory negligence, that is all the more preferable to the insurance company interests.

Last Clear Chance and Contributory Negligence are often incredibly complex, fact-driven legal issues. It’s easy to be lured into imprecisely answering a question that is intended to cause problems with your case.

Who is responsible for an accident?

It has nothing to do with whether the person who caused the wreck feels bad for you or even apologizes for causing the wreck. In most instances, the person who decides whether to pay an accident claim and for how much (if anything) is most often the insurance adjuster.

There are some important exceptions. If the carrier doesn’t proceed fairly, it may be up to a jury to decide what is fair and how much you are entitled to after an accident. Accident lawyers enjoy helping people resolve disputes, litigating in court when necessary.

If carriers always did the right thing and proceeded fairly, there would be no reason for lawyers. I’d be out of a job – Danny Glover, OBX Personal Injury Lawyer

It’s frankly frustrating to tell good people, “Had you called us sooner we may have been able to help.”

As a general rule, we don’t recommend people give recorded statements without first consulting with a lawyer.

Part of our job is to help explain how accident claims work and what to expect when an insurance adjuster calls. It’s important to be truthful. It’s also important to understand a claims adjuster very well may not have your best interests at heart.

Your legal matter deserves the attention of an accident lawyer with substantial experience with claims in Kitty Hawk, Manteo, Nags Head, and the surrounding towns.

Last month I began telling you about some very important things that you need to do (and NOT do) immediately at the scene of the wreck. They were:

• Stay calm and breathe! If you have been injured, do not move – call 911 (if possible) and wait for EMS and then go to the hospital.
• Once all people involved in the wreck are accounted for and that situation is stable, have someone gather all of the information possible at the scene, including the names, addresses, phone numbers and license plate numbers of any and all witnesses and other drivers involved in the wreck, and take photographs of everything. Do not rely on law enforcement to do this for you.
• Do not move any vehicles until law enforcement arrives.
• Do not admit fault.

Once you leave the scene, there are still some other important things that you need to do.

First, file all of your medical bills with your health insurance company. Even if the wreck was caused by someone else, your medical bills are your responsibility.

Non-payment or late payment of those medical bills will hurt your credit and lead to late fees, etc. If the wreck was not your fault, you may eventually recover a settlement that includes reimbursement for your medical bills, but injury settlements take time, and it is important that you utilize all available health insurance to pay the bills as soon as possible.

Some health insurance companies are entitled to repayment from your eventual settlement, and some are not.

An experienced injury attorney can assist you in figuring that out as part of your case.

Second, if you are injured, do not speak to any automobile insurance company until you have spoken to an experienced, local injury attorney.

Insurance companies will be trying to take your statement as soon possible, and they will typically then try to use that statement against you later to deny the claim or to try to lowball you on your settlement.

A good injury attorney can make sure that you do everything necessary to make sure that you eventually obtain a complete settlement according to the law and can help you avoid making mistakes that can cost you money.

Third, if you were given a ticket, do not pay it off. Instead, speak to an experienced, local traffic attorney. Oftentimes an attorney can get your ticket reduced or dismissed and save you DMV points and possibly insurance premium increases.

Fourth, report the collision to your automobile insurance company – hopefully only after you have spoken to an attorney about your injuries or your ticket.

Here’s to hoping that you never need to use this advice!!
