| Do not settle your motorcycle
accident for less than you are entitled |
|
Motorcycle accidents involve
serious and catastrophic injuries. In addition
to being reimbursed for medical care you have
already received, and lost wages you have
incurred in the past, California law allows
for recovery of future medical care and future
wage loss. If you settle your case without
knowing what the future may hold, you may
not receive everything you are entitled. You
cannot reopen the case and ask for additional
damages after it has settled. That is why
it is extremely important to hire our office
so that we can interview your treating physicians
and establish the reasonable costs for lifetime
medical care.
Lost wages in the future must not be underestimated.
If your injury will keep you from working
into the future, an expert economist may be
necessary to calculate what you would have
earned if the accident never happened. |

| What do I do to
help my case? |
Do
not give a recorded statement to anyone. Typically,
recorded interviews do nothing more than give
the insurance company a statement to use against
the motorcycle rider in a lawsuit. The information
in a recorded statement can be obtained just
as easily without a recording so an injured
rider should always refuse to allow a statement
to be recorded.
Do
not let the police officer or insurance adjuster
say you are partially at fault for assuming
the risk of riding a motorcycle. The officer's
opinion many times is inadmissible in a civil
trial. A motorcycle operator is negligent
only if he or she fails to do what an ordinary
motorcycle operator in the same or similar
situation would have done. Just getting on
a motorcycle is what every motorcycle operator
does so that in and of itself cannot constitute
negligence.
It is extremely important to preserve the
evidence. The driver that causes the accident
many times says he or she did not see the
motorcycle. When an accident happens at night,
the filament in the motorcycle’s head
light can be examined to prove it was working.
It is extremely important the head light is
examined before it is repaired or altered.
If the evidence is preserved, a motorcycle
accident reconstruction expert can prove the
accident was not your fault. The motorcycle
accident reconstruction expert will examine
and photograph all the vehicles and roadway
involved in the accident. The direction in
which scratches appear on the bike or roadway
can prove how the accident actually happened.
Time and distance calculations many times
are able to prove there was not enough time
for the motorcycle driver to stop before the
impact. |
