How to Prove Your Motorcycle Accident Claim

To recover damages for your injuries, you first need to prove that someone else was responsible for the accident that caused them. Our attorneys will help you establish that the defendant breached a “duty of care” he owed you as a fellow motorist on our State’s highways. Your lawyer will also attempt to prove that this breach of duty directly caused your injuries. This breach of duty is known as “negligence,” the most common examples of which include:

• Speeding
• Texting and driving
• Making illegal left turns
• Unsafely changing or splitting lanes
• Drunk driving

Motorcycle accident injuries are particularly devastating when someone else’s negligence is to blame. However, fortunately, the law provides a remedy in the form of compensatory damages. These are intended to compensate you for concrete, measurable losses like medical expenses, lost income, reduced earning capacity, and property damage. Your attorney will prove your case by presenting copies of medical bills, receipts, and pay stubs to show that you sustained a real, tangible loss as a result of the other party’s carelessness. In some cases, you may also be entitled to recover “non-economic” damages, which are intangible losses like emotional and psychological distress. Non-economic damages can be difficult to prove, but an experienced attorney can help you build a compelling case for them.

How A Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Can Help You Move Forward

At Harris Personal Injury Lawyers, we routinely work with insurance companies to negotiate fair settlements for our clients. However, unfortunately, this experience has taught us that insurers will go to great lengths to protect their bottom lines, and they are not motivated to offer generous settlements. Because of this, it is vital to involve a personal injury lawyer at the outset of your case so you can improve your chances of securing a favorable settlement. If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident, strongly consider reaching out to us before attempting to represent yourself in a negotiation with insurance companies. If you hire us, we will work with you to collect your medical records, pay stubs, repair receipts, and other concrete evidence to put a monetary value on your claim. We will present your claim to the adjuster assigned to your case and will argue for the highest amount of compensation possible. We will never settle a case for less than what you deserve, so if our negotiations with an insurer are unsuccessful, we will take your case to trial.
