How to file a motorcycle accident lawsuit

If you’re involved in a motorcycle accident chances are you’re going to be pretty seriously injured. The motorcycle always loses in those accidents. You need to have a lawyer that’s very aggressive.

You need to have a lawyer that’s thorough, that gets out to the scene of the accident, that speaks to the police officers before the insurance company for the defendant does.

A lawyer that speaks to the witnesses before the insurance company for the defendants does. You need a lawyer that finds out if there is any videotape from somewhere to show what happened in the accident.

Some cities are taping intersections and some businesses might have some video cameras so you need to get all these pieces of possible evidence so that you can best formulate the claim on the behalf of your motorcycle client.

Who will pay my medical bills if I am injured in a motorcycle accident? 

Depending upon how the motorcycle accident happened sometimes the motorcycle rider has medical insurance coverage and sometimes they do not. Sometimes you can get the vehicle to pay for the insurance and sometimes you can’t.

You might have insurance from your employer. We would have to look at the circumstances, if it happened as a result of a construction site failure or negligence then the construction site might have insurance.

For example, if they had debris on the roadway or if debris fell in front of you and caused you to slam into the debris or slam on your brakes then there is likely to be some insurance from the construction site.

It all depends upon the situation but we do everything we can to find our clients medical insurance coverage so they can get the treatment that they need and deserve.

How much will it cost me to file a motorcycle accident lawsuit?

Like all other lawsuits involving personal injury lawyers throughout the country, law firms generally take these cases on contingency, i.e. a portion of the monetary damages that the attorney is able to recover for the client.

You pay a contingency fee for the lawyer to represent you so nothing is up front.

The lawyer will even advance the cost of the litigation and that would be advanced for you up front. The lawyer only recovers when the lawsuit is settled or when you recover from a verdict.

There is no money up front being paid by the client.
