How Can A Vestavia Hills Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Help Me?
If you weren’t responsible for the accident, then you deserve compensation for the losses you suffered. However, getting the money you deserve by just filing a claim with the at-fault party’s insurance company can be complicated. First, insurance companies may try to argue that you were careless with your safety just for riding your bike. Secondly, your case may be worth at least six figures, which means that the insurance company and their lawyers will scrutinize the evidence and our case very closely.
We gather evidence to prove that the other driver caused the wreck, including interviewing reluctant witnesses or requesting the report from the other vehicle’s Event Data Recorder (the car’s “black box,” which is standard on most newer vehicles). Then, we make sure that your case is strong and that our financial experts testify not just to your current losses but also to what you may need in the future. This could include care in a skilled nursing facility or vocational re-training if you cannot work the same job you had before the accident.
Motorcycle Accidents Are More Complex Than Other Crash Cases
Unfair bias is one complexity of these cases that is usually absent from other types of traffic collisions. Some insurance companies (and even jurors, if your case goes to trial) believe that by simply riding the bike, you are taking an unsafe risk of your life. However, as seasoned motorcycle accident attorneys, we know how to effectively counter these unmitigated biases.
Another complexity of a motorcycle accident claim is that it is often high-value because so many victims have serious injuries requiring extensive medical care. An insurance company will require solid justification that all proposed treatment is medically necessary, and thus, the amount we’re asking for is fair.
