4 Benefits of Hiring a Motorcycle Accident Attorney

Published on August 19th, 2020

Personal Injury Lawyer

In the aftermath of a motorcycle accident, you may not know where to turn for assistance. Bodily injuries and property damage can throw your finances into a tailspin, and while your insurance company may assist you with some portions of recovery, there are several benefits to hiring a motorcycle accident attorney, especially if you plan to file a personal injury lawsuit.

  1. Assistance With Insurance Claims

After an accident, you may have difficulty with your own insurance company or the insurance carrier of the person who caused the accident. Insurance companies usually try to settle claims for as little money as possible, even if you have considerable injuries or your motorcycle is declared a total loss. An attorney can help represent your best interests as you attempt to recover compensation, especially if there are questions about liability or shared responsibility with the accident.

  1. Help With Settlement Offers 

Some insurance companies will try to settle a claim with you right away when their client was at fault for an accident. You may even have a representative visit you as you recover in a hospital or at home. Having legal representation can ensure that the settlement amount the insurance company offers is fair and that you receive compensation for all your injuries.

  1. Building a Lawsuit 

If you believe an insurance company is treating you unfairly after your motorcycle accident and that your injuries and property damage are being undervalued, an attorney can help you build a lawsuit, as doing so might be difficult on your own. If you were seriously injured and physical mobility is currently difficult, an attorney can represent your best interests by talking to witnesses and gathering important information for your lawsuit. If your case goes to court and you are still recovering, your attorney can speak for you and handle all the legal details, giving you peace of mind as you heal.

  1. Representation and Protection 

Meeting with insurance representatives can be stressful, especially if the adjuster wants to record your conversation or presses you to make certain statements that may damage your lawsuit. Having an attorney present to advise you can protect you from making errors and let you know when to refrain from speaking. You can have your attorney present during arbitration or whenever an insurance representative wants to speak to you.

A motorcycle accident can change your life in a heartbeat, but you do not have to face insurance adjusters and an uncertain future alone. Contact a motorcycle accident lawyer, like from Martin Wren, P.C., today for further assistance and information.
