Although motorcycles travel at the same speeds as other vehicles on the road, they offer far less in the way of protection to riders. When a motorcycle is in an accident, the resulting injuries are often severe. If you or a loved one has been in a motorcycle wreck, you may think that getting compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages and pain and suffering is simply a matter of discussing your situation with the insurance company. Unfortunately, nothing could be further from the truth.
Insurance companies are not in business to ensure that you are treated fairly after an accident. Rather, insurance companies are in business to make money. These companies will go to great lengths to limit what they pay in claims. In order to be treated fairly, you will need a lawyer who will go to greater lengths to get you the money you need.
Motorcycle accident litigation can bring a number of specific challenges. It is a good bet that the driver who injured you will claim that he or she "did not see you." Our lawyers prepare every case with the expectation that it will go to trial. Most cases we handle are resolved in settlement negotiations prior to trial, but it is our extensive preparation and trial experience that help our clients recover full compensation without the need for a trial.
