Providing Legal Advice
It is hard to know what to do after a motorcycle accident case. You will not only have to deal with insurance companies but also the other party’s legal advisors. Legal and insurance terms can be confusing for someone without legal knowledge which is where your lawyer comes in.
A Forked Island motorcycle accident lawyer knows how to make sure no one will take advantage of you. They have the necessary experience with dealing with motorcycle cases and know what to expect. You should be sure to contact a lawyer before talking to an insurance representative to prep you on what you need to say.
The other party’s legal advisor might use complicated terms to trap you, but that will not work with your lawyer. Let your lawyer go through any documents you get from the other party. Do not accept the first offer they give, sign anything the insurance company gives you, and do not give any statements without your lawyer present.

Our Forked Island motorcycle accident lawyer works with you from the very beginning and gives you answers to any questions you might have. They will be able to explain to you the claims and lawsuits you can file, as well as help you file them to get compensation for your damages.

Building Your Case
Calling a motorcycle accident lawyer immediately after an accident is the best choice you can make. It lets them be part of the case from the beginning, meaning they will have all the information they need to build your case. Starting from the beginning, a lawyer will likely help you gather evidence that shows:
- When and how the motorcycle accident happened
- Injuries you got from the accident
- The party responsible for the accident
- The driver’s negligence that resulted in the accident
- Treatments you take to deal with your injuries
A Forked Island motorcycle accident lawyer knows the information you need to support your case. The evidence they can gather may include:
- CCTV or traffic camera footage of the accident
- Witness and expert witness statements
- Receipts and bills from your past and ongoing medical care
- Cost of repairing or replacing damaged possessions
- Visual evidence of the damages from the accident
Negotiating a Settlement
Your lawyer will use all the evidence they collect to deal with the other party and the insurance company. The evidence will show the extent of your damages and your lawyer will need to present a settlement amount that can sufficiently cover them.
A motorcycle accident lawyer will negotiate with the insurance company to get a settlement amount that both parties find agreeable. They will also be ready to take your case to court to get a fair settlement if negotiations with the other party or the insurance company fail.
How Much Will Hiring a Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Cost?
