subject: Safeguard Settlements With A Motorcycle Accident Lawyer [print this page]


It is hard to believe that men and women who rode motorcycles sometimes don't immediately pursue legal counsel after facing a motorcycle accident. They believe that these vehicles leave them more exposed to road injury; their bikes are a more dangerous form of transportation, so of course, the injuries the riders sustain will be worse than the person in a car. Their bike will more than likely be significantly damaged or destroyed. They feel luck when they walk away unscathed. But, the fact is, regardless of the size of one's vehicle, if road conditions, inclement weather, or a road spill aren't to blame, then the negligence of the party needs to be looked into, determined and the liable party pursue.

The vehicular negligence that a motorcycle accident lawyer focuses on deals with a driver not performing the necessary techniques to avoid a car crash. Their liability in this type of suit lies in determining that they were driving recklessly, disobeying traffic laws and signals, causing the collision. The motorcycle accident lawyer is able to use the telling signs from the site of the accident such as skid marks, vehicle/motorcycle damage, nearby property damage, and eyewitness statements to help determine liability as well. These attorneys prove their cases in compiled documents and data in accident reconstruction, police, and medical reports before they even step into a meeting or courtroom.

If a person's body and/or vehicle becomes injured or damaged as the result of another motorist's negligence actions, the liable party's insurance adjuster will contact the victim under the guise of trying to smooth over the situation with a ready made settlement. But only a prepared and professional motorcycle accident lawyer can inform the injured party of their full rights to financial compensation. The insurance adjuster works on behalf of their insured client, so a quick settlement over the phone will never be in the interest of the victim.

When the injured party attempts to work alone, they may end up sharing too much information with the adjuster over the phone or the negligent driver at the crash site. This information can turn out to be threatening to the financial outcome of their case. So without the full knowledge of all legal rights now and in the future regarding ones injuries, a settlement can lead to the injured party having to pay for their own medical treatments for injuries associated with the collision as well as the responsibility of dealing with any lost wages and the associated stress. Therefore, a reputable lawyer helps each client take the entire picture of their case into account before making any rash decisions regarding care of their finances and personal well-being now and in the near future.
