Benefits of Hiring a Lawyer After a Motorcycle Accident

On Behalf of Garber Law, P.C. | Apr 10, 2021 | Personal Injury

If you are in a motorcycle accident, you will likely be left with some costs. You may need to repair your motorcycle and figure out a way to pay for all your medical bills. If you have to take time off work due to the accident, it can be difficult to cover these costs. If another person is to blame for your motorcycle accident, then you may have compensation options available. This is where hiring a motorcycle accident attorney is beneficial. Continue reading to learn why.

Who Is Responsible Following a Motorcycle Accident?

One of the first things that a lawyer or insurance representative will consider is who is responsible for the motorcycle accident. They will gather this information by talking to witnesses and collecting information like:

  • Police report
  • Images from the scene of the accident
  • Videos from the scene of the accident
  • Self-reports

When attempting to prove responsibility, they will look for four important elements. These include a duty of care, a breach of duty, causation, and damages. Most motorcyclists experience some degree of injuries or property damages following an accident.

When to Hire a Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

The full extent of your injuries will usually determine whether you should hire a motorcycle accident lawyer or not. If you have minor injuries or damages, it may not be necessary to hire one. You may be able to receive the compensation you need from your insurance company.

But, if your medical bills or damages exceed the amount allowed through the insurance company, or there is a question as to who is responsible, then it may be a good idea to hire a lawyer. Additionally, if you have any questions as to how much your case is worth, you may benefit from the services of a lawyer.

When to Accept a Settlement Offer

The other insurance company, or even your own, may try to offer you a settlement offer for your accident damages. If you agree to this amount, you sign away your legal rights and even if your injuries end up costing more, you will no longer be eligible to file a claim. This is why it is always a good idea to at least discuss the details of your case with a lawyer.

Your lawyer can evaluate the damages and calculate a value. This value can make it easier to negotiate or evaluate how fair, or appropriate, a settlement offer is.

When calculating the value of your case, we consider each of the following costs:

  • Current and anticipated medical costs
  • Lost wages
  • Diminished earning capacity
  • Property damages
  • Rehabilitation costs
  • Temporary transportation
  • Loss of consortium
  • Pain and suffering

Your insurance company may only consider economic costs, which include things like your medical bills or property damages. But, we understand that a motorcycle accident can cost you more than a couple of visits to the doctor and minor repairs to your motorcycle. We know that it can also affect your ability to work, as well as take away the enjoyment of an activity that you once enjoyed. We will fight for the reimbursement of all costs associated with the motorcycle accident.
