As the smallest vehicles on the road, motorcycles are especially vulnerable to harm due to the mistakes of careless drivers. After an accident, bikers often suffer broken bones, concussions, and severe contusions that may never fully heal. If you’ve been injured in a collision, an attorney can help you get the compensation you need.

3 Ways an Attorney Can Help After a Motorcycle Accident

1. Establishing Liability

Insurance companies often try to deny responsibility by claiming that the victim was responsible for the accident. Personal injury attorneys have the knowledge and resources to conduct their own investigations, which they can use to prove what really happened. Based on their evidence, your lawyer can often compel an insurance company to make a fair settlement offer, even if they’d previously denied your claim.

2. Calculating Your Damages

After a motorcycle accident, the insurance company may contact you with an initial offer that may not even cover your medical expenses, let alone all your other losses. An experienced injury attorney will have the expertise to calculate a fair settlement that includes all of your damages, including any future medical care, lost wages, and the pain and suffering you’ve endured.

3. Negotiating With Insurers

Insurance companies often refuse to negotiate with accident victims who don’t have legal representation. Fortunately, a personal injury attorney can leverage the threat of an expensive lawsuit to bring them back to the negotiating table.
