Questions & Answers

What You Need to Know

  • Questions

  • Who will be held accountable for my accident?

    Answer

    If you were injured in an accident caused by no fault of your own, or if a loved one has been wrongfully killed due to another party’s negligent or reckless behavior, then you could be eligible to file a claim and pursue financial compensation under your State’s personal injury laws. Different parties can be held responsible for an accident that resulted in injury, including individuals (like a reckless driver) or an entity (such as a trucking company or product manufacturer).

  • What compensation is available?

    Answer

    Compensation can come in two forms: non-economic damages and economic damages. Economic damages typically refer to the following: medical bills (past and current), lost wages, lost earning capacity, and property damages. Non-economic damages can refer to the following: pain and suffering, change in lifestyle, loss of companionship, or loss of enjoyment of life. Other forms of compensation can also include punitive damages or wrongful death.

  • Should I accept the deal my insurance company provided?

    Answer

    You have insurance coverage for a reason: when emergencies hit, you want to know that you are covered. Unfortunately, most insurance company settlements are so pitifully low that most victims are left with additional expenses in the aftermath of an accident. We know that the last thing you want is a courtroom battle, but we can help make sure you receive the full compensation you really deserve.

  • Why do I need a lawyer?

    Answer

    Working with an attorney can help level the playing field. Simply put, our firm makes sure insurance companies don’t try to force you into accepting a low-ball offer. We know how to investigate a case to make sure you are receiving the full amount of compensation and then we fight hard to make sure you do not receive anything less than what you deserve.

Understanding Common Types of Negligence

Whether negligence played a role in your case or not, most motorcycle accidents can be caused by a number of factors. But the fact still remains: most accidents could have been prevented. You will need work with a qualified motorcycle accident lawyer who understands the personal injury laws and how other factors such as negligence and liability can play significant roles.
