In most instances of motorcycle accidents, roughly three quarters of them involve collisions with passenger autos.
The underlying cause was the driver of the car not yielding the right-of-way to the biker.
Other causes include the inability of the driver of the car to assess the speed of a motorcycle and the fact they cannot always see the biker due to their blind spots.
Not being able to correctly assess the speed of the oncoming bike usually results in the car driver being too late to avoid the collision because they have already placed themselves in the path of the bike.
In the event of a collision with a car, do not take the first settlement offer that comes along from the insurance company.
Immediately contact an experienced motorcycle attorney for consultation.
In most cases the insurance companies only want a quick settlement, not a just one.
How do you know you have an experience motorcycle attorney who will go to the mat for you in court? Ask the lawyer what is the first thing they will do for you.
The answer should be to make sure the insurance agent is paying close attention to the bike's damages.
Your lawyer's presence will make sure that happens.
If the lawyer files suit quickly, you want this attorney in your corner.
A lawsuit puts pressure on the insurance company to pay up.
It will also, in most cases, stop the driver of the car from leaving town.
If your lawyer demands your medical records with the speed of light, s/he knows what they are doing.
The records tell the story of fractured bones and recovery times.
There are actually seven categories of fractures and getting your medical file categorized is critical to the disposition of your claim.
Don't assume that just because your injuries may seem inconsequential to you that they are.
Hidden fractures and other medical problems could arise further down the road.
Your lawyer knows this and knows how to prepare a lawsuit to maximize claim benefits.
While you many not think you need a lawyer, you honestly do.
This area of the law is far too complex to handle on your own.
A qualified motorcycle attorney will assess your case and be able to get you the judgment you deserve with a minimum of fuss.
