When Should You Get a Lawyer for a Motorcycle Accident?

You should consider getting a lawyer for a motorcycle accident if you suffered injuries and financial losses due to another party’s actions. A motorcycle accident can protect your rights as well as potentially help you recover an adequate settlement.

Our law firm offers a free initial consultation. If you are in doubt as to whether hiring a lawyer for your accident claim is a good idea, you should consider calling our team to learn more about your legal options.

Lawyers Can Help With Serious Accidents

Unfortunately, the injury and death rate in motorcycle accidents is high, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), with injuries and deaths affecting more than 80% of those involved in accidents. Serious injuries that can be physically debilitating as well as expensive include, among others:

  • Road rash
  • Head and brain injuries
  • Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
  • Extensive fractures
  • Loss of limbs

Permanent and disabling injuries can leave accident victims and their families facing steep medical costs, income losses, and other expenses. A motorcycle accident lawyer can potentially help those suffering from catastrophic injuries and expensive material damage recover their due.

When Insurance Company Negotiations Come to a Stall

If you are unable to recover an adequate settlement covering all your past, present, and future damages from the at-fault party’s insurance, you should consider hiring an attorney as soon as possible.

Insurance companies have their own teams that fight claims all day long. While you can try to go at it alone against them, you may not be able to recover what you need and risk having your claim denied altogether.

Without a lawyer on your side, you could be out in the cold without knowing your full legal rights or how to fight the insurance appropriately. A motorcycle accident lawyer knows how to handle insurance companies and negotiate for what you deserve.

A Lawyer Can Help You Recover Damages

Accident victims can be tempted to go it alone until they realize just how stressful, time-consuming, and tricky a personal injury case can be. The American Bar Association (ABA) states that self-represented litigants can be at a considerable disadvantage when it comes to recovering their due. However, having a motorcycle accident lawyer by your side, who can assess your damages accurately, can help you recover what you deserve.

Economic Damages

Depending on your motorcycle accident and injuries, you could seek the following economic damages:

  • All medical expenses for injuries resulting from the accident
  • Lost income and future lost income
  • Rehabilitative therapies
  • Out-of-pocket costs for medical devices and medications
  • Assistance with household tasks

Non-economic Damages

If you experienced significant injuries, you could potentially also receive non-economic damages, including for:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress and trauma
  • Loss of life enjoyment
  • Loss of a limb
  • Permanent disfigurement and scarring
  • Permanent disability

Compensation can vary drastically from one accident to another. However, a motorcycle accident lawyer can advise you on the compensation that may be available in your particular motorcycle accident case.

The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.
