According to studies by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, nearly 75% of all motorcycle accidents and 50% of fatal accidents, involve two vehicles. The second is usually a car, and the motorcyclist almost always fares worse.
The most common factors in motorcycle accidents include:
A Calabasas motorcycle accident attorney can review the details of your crash to help you understand your next steps.
Identifying every potential factor in an accident is essential for determining who is at fault, what percentage each is responsible for, and who is financially liable.
Fault can be a complex question on which you, the other driver, police and emergency responders, and insurance companies do not agree. It is even further complicated if there were equipment failures, poor road conditions, public vehicles, or obstacles involved.
A Calabasas motorcycle accident attorney can help prepare your strongest arguments and if necessary and prudent will retain a private investigator to help build your case. But you must act quickly. The insurance companies will want to settle as quickly as they can. They will not want to wait to discover that you have long-term medical and disability issues. To them, it’s just business. To you, it is your future. Do not agree to any settlement without talking to an attorney.
Our team can help you:
Recovering from a motorcycle accident can be a long, hard road. And it is a road you should not head down alone.
While your claim will not be exactly like anyone else’s, there are several steps that everyone in your difficult situation is encouraged to take.
Your health and well-being must come first in the wake of a dangerous motorcycle accident. This means that, if it’s offered, you should accept medical care at the scene of the accident. If this isn’t the case, however, you should be seen by a medical professional as soon as possible.
When you ride, you don’t have the buffer of your car’s metal shell or its crumple zones to protect you, which means that nothing comes between you and the full force of the accident. If you don’t think you were seriously injured in the accident, keep in mind that the shock involved can mask a good deal of pain and other important symptoms.
The bottom line is that, if you are in a motorcycle accident, you should not wait to see a doctor. Your ability to recover as fully as possible could hinge on your early attention to this matter.
Having professional legal guidance backing you up from the outset can have an immense impact on the outcome of your motorcycle claim. The fact is that these claims are legally complex, and your trusted motorcycle accident lawyer will spare no effort in their quest to help you.
In the aftermath of a motorcycle accident, you are in a very vulnerable position, and the insurance company handling your claim is well aware of this fact. They are likely to seek an official statement from you, and once they obtain it, they are likely to twist your words to their benefit.
Even if your statement describes exactly how the accident happened in very clear terms and is an honest reflection of the circumstances involved, it could inadvertently damage your claim. The best course of action is to allow your Calabasas motorcycle accident attorney to communicate with the insurance provider throughout the legal process.
This warning extends to your comments and posts on social media. Rest assured that the insurance company is paying attention. Laying low on social media until your claim is resolved is always in your best interest.
A well-respected Calabasas motorcycle accident lawyer at Swift Justice has the experience and legal insight necessary to help guide your claim effectively and efficiently forward toward a favorable resolution. The outcome of your claim is important to your recovery, so please don’t wait to contact us online or to give our firm a call today.
