Job Description:
Los Angeles, SX Lawyers - Motorcycle Accident Attorney present
dangers not present in other kinds of vehicular accidents.
Motorcycles travel much faster than bicycles but offer no
protection from a collision.Drivers bodies are exposed to the
collision and can be crushed between their motorcycle and the other
vehicle.The combined speed of the collision can be as much as 120
mph, which is sufficient to leave a person's body virtually
liquefied on the road. In any event, motorcycle accidents often
result in the loss of limb or the loss of life.A motorcycle
accident lawyer is a type of personal injury lawyer. Personal
injury lawyers help those who have been injured in an accident seek
financial recovery for their damages like:
- Medical treatment
- Prescription medications
- Lost wages
- Loss of earning capacity
- Vehicle damage
- Pain and sufferingPersonal injury lawyers specialize in tort
law according to Georgia Code is the unlawful violation of a
private legal right other than a mere breach of contract, express
or implied or the violation of a public duty where the victim
suffers damages.If someone causes an auto accident, they have been
negligent; in other words, they have violated their legal duty to
act in a way that does not harm others.Motorcycle accidents fall
under the scope of tort law. If a personal injury lawyer
specializes in helping victims win compensation after motorcycle
accidents, they are also known as a motorcycle accident lawyer.
Their goal is to make the accident victim whole again through
compensation.Motorcycle Insurance ClaimsOne aspect of getting into
any type of motorcycle collision has to do with dealing with the
insurance companies. We all know the insurance companies are out
for their own profit, but in motorcycle accidents, the insurance
company sometimes takes it a step further by trying to close your
case out as soon as possible.This allows the insurance company to
have you sign documents that may limit your future motorcycle
accident settlement. Another problem with the insurance company is
that they may take long periods of time to get back to you on
information relating to your case.Insurance Company TacticsThis is
a common tactic used by insurance companies to provoke a lapse in
treatment. A lapse in your motorcycle treatment can negatively
affect your claim when you try to negotiate a settlement; the
insurance company will say that the injuries caused were never
regularly treated, and therefore must not be significant enough to
warrant a settlement.The last major issue in speaking with an
insurance company involves liability. If the circumstances
surrounding your accident are even slightly questionable, the
opposing insurance company is likely to deny part or all of your
claim, saying you were the at-fault driver.It is important to note
that speaking with your insurance company without the supervision
of an experienced motorcycle attorney is not recommended. For
instance, our firm would assist you in speaking with your insurance
company or opening the claim. This allows us to make sure nothing
is said to imply any wrongdoing or liability issues on your
part.Our Los Angeles Motorcycle Accident Law Firm prides itself on
knowing that when we call the insurance company, they listen.We
guide our clients to put them in the best legal position before
ever speaking with the insurance company about a settlement. We go
over your rights directly with you, so that if you do ever speak
with the insurance company, you are prepared.Building Your
Motorcycle Accident CaseBefore you can file your motorcycle
accident claim with the at-fault driver's insurance company, you'll
need to gather evidence to show that:
- The motorcycle accident happened and caused your injuries.
- The at-fault party's negligence led to the accident.
- You suffered damages as a result of the motorcycle accident.A
motorcycle accident lawyer will know what information needs to be
gathered and compiled to build a strong insurance claim. They will
work to gather pictures from the scene, get copies of reports, take
eyewitness statements, obtain medical records, and more.The goal is
to show how the accident happened, who was at fault, and why the
at-fault party is responsible for your damages. Your lawyer will
also wait until after you have reached maximum medical improvement
(MMI), which is the point at which you've recovered as much as
possible with medical treatment.That way, they can accurately
calculate your total damages, including past and future medical
costs. When they have all of the information they need, your lawyer
will compile all evidence to build and file your claim.Negotiating
for a Fair SettlementWhen you file your insurance claim, the
insurance company will review it and respond. The insurance company
might respond with an offer, but it's usually a lowball amount that
doesn't come close to covering your damages.The insurer might try
to make it seem like a good deal (or the best you can get), but
with a lawyer on your side, you'll know better. A motorcycle
accident lawyer will know how to deal with the insurance
company.They'll work to negotiate a settlement amount that is
actually fair to you based on your damages. If they are successful,
you'll get paid.Representing You in CourtMost motorcycle accident
cases end in a settlement, especially if the injured motorcyclist
hires an experienced lawyer. However, in some cases, the insurance
company won't agree to a settlement that is good enough.If that
happens, your lawyer might advise filing a lawsuit. Your lawyer
will represent you from each step of the lawsuit process. Before
going all the way to trial, they will work to negotiate a
settlement along the way.Settlements are often reached at this
point, but if you need to go all the way to trial, your lawyer will
be there to fight for your rights.Get a Free Consultation with a
Motorcycle Accident LawyerA motorcycle accident lawyer can make all
the difference in your recovery after your accident. At SX Lawyers,
it's risk-free to work with us because we don't take a fee unless
we win you money and plus the consultation is always FREE.
