Choosing a Motorcycle Accident Attorney

Support groups, advocacy organizations, medical, and rehabilitation professionals can often recommend experienced attorneys. Community resources and referrals can help you find the perfect attorney. First and foremost, look for an attorney who has experience litigating serious motorcycle accident cases.

The key requirements for the successful motorcycle injury accident attorney are:

Understanding of what is needed and what is being presented

The ability to know what experts and what testimony is needed to explain all the facets of the injury

The ability to work with the client to put this all together in a way that is complete, straightforward and easily understandable.

Motorcycle injury cases settle with an eye toward providing the needed care after attorney's fees. If successful, you live as normal and full a life as your motorcycle injury allows. If not, you do without for the rest of your life, because the attorney failed, the liability wouldn't support a large enough settlement to meet your needs, or the defendant didn't have enough coverage or resources.

You only have one chance to get it right. An injury lawyer may be able to get you what seems like a big settlement. However, they may have overlooked future expenses. What may seem like a fair settlement may actually be way too small for your present and future financial needs. The best settlement may be a "structured settlement" providing payments over a lifetime, with tax planning and other advantages. These can be difficult to negotiate and evaluate, especially if your attorney does not have adequate experience with serious injury cases.

The strength of the insurance carrier making these payments is a factor that must be evaluated by a professional who understands insurance. The inflation factor built into a structured settlement must be understood, because the payments are made over a lifetime, and inflation can chew up your settlement.

We'll start your case right away – In most courts it can take over a year to even get to trial. If you don’t start quickly, you could in for a long wait. Unlike firms that sit on your case for up to two years, hoping it will settle without much work, we’ll file suit timely. Your case can always be settled while it is in the courts. On the other hand, if it doesn’t settle, you can’t make up the time that was lost.

We'll strive for maximum settlement – We know how to present your case showing everything your opponent owes you so you can get the right settlement. We know what expenses you’re entitled to including medical expenses, vehicle rental fees, motorcycle repair/replacement costs, general damages, lost wages, future loss of earning capacity, and much more. The goal is to demonstrate your side of the case in a way that the insurance company will understand.
