Los Angeles, SX Lawyers - Motorcycle Accident Attorney present dangers not present in other kinds of vehicular accidents. Motorcycles travel much faster than bicycles but offer no protection from a collision.Drivers bodies are exposed to the collision and can be crushed between their motorcycle and the other vehicle.The combined speed of the collision can be as much as 120 mph, which is sufficient to leave a person's body virtually liquefied on the road. In any event, motorcycle accidents often result in the loss of limb or the loss of life.A motorcycle accident lawyer is a type of personal injury lawyer. Personal injury lawyers help those who have been injured in an accident seek financial recovery for their damages like:

• Medical treatment
• Prescription medications
• Lost wages
• Loss of earning capacity

• Pain and sufferingPersonal injury lawyers specialize in tort law according to Georgia Code is the unlawful violation of a private legal right other than a mere breach of contract, express or implied or the violation of a public duty where the victim suffers damages.If someone causes an auto accident, they have been negligent; in other words, they have violated their legal duty to act in a way that does not harm others.Motorcycle accidents fall under the scope of tort law. If a personal injury lawyer specializes in helping victims win compensation after motorcycle accidents, they are also known as a motorcycle accident lawyer. Their goal is to make the accident victim whole again through compensation.Motorcycle Insurance ClaimsOne aspect of getting into any type of motorcycle collision has to do with dealing with the insurance companies. We all know the insurance companies are out for their own profit, but in motorcycle accidents, the insurance company sometimes takes it a step further by trying to close your case out as soon as possible.This allows the insurance company to have you sign documents that may limit your future motorcycle accident settlement. Another problem with the insurance company is that they may take long periods of time to get back to you on information relating to your case.Insurance Company TacticsThis is a common tactic used by insurance companies to provoke a lapse in treatment. A lapse in your motorcycle treatment can negatively affect your claim when you try to negotiate a settlement; the insurance company will say that the injuries caused were never regularly treated, and therefore must not be significant enough to warrant a settlement.The last major issue in speaking with an insurance company involves liability. If the circumstances surrounding your accident are even slightly questionable, the opposing insurance company is likely to deny part or all of your claim, saying you were the at-fault driver.It is important to note that speaking with your insurance company without the supervision of an experienced motorcycle attorney is not recommended. For instance, our firm would assist you in speaking with your insurance company or opening the claim. This allows us to make sure nothing is said to imply any wrongdoing or liability issues on your part.Our Los Angeles Motorcycle Accident Law Firm prides itself on knowing that when we call the insurance company, they listen.We guide our clients to put them in the best legal position before ever speaking with the insurance company about a settlement. We go over your rights directly with you, so that if you do ever speak with the insurance company, you are prepared.Building Your Motorcycle Accident CaseBefore you can file your motorcycle accident claim with the at-fault driver's insurance company, you'll need to gather evidence to show that:
  • The motorcycle accident happened and caused your injuries.
  • The at-fault party's negligence led to the accident.
  • You suffered damages as a result of the motorcycle accident.A motorcycle accident lawyer will know what information needs to be gathered and compiled to build a strong insurance claim. They will work to gather pictures from the scene, get copies of reports, take eyewitness statements, obtain medical records, and more.The goal is to show how the accident happened, who was at fault, and why the at-fault party is responsible for your damages. Your lawyer will also wait until after you have reached maximum medical improvement (MMI), which is the point at which you've recovered as much as possible with medical treatment.That way, they can accurately calculate your total damages, including past and future medical costs. When they have all of the information they need, your lawyer will compile all evidence to build and file your claim.Negotiating for a Fair SettlementWhen you file your insurance claim, the insurance company will review it and respond. The insurance company might respond with an offer, but it's usually a lowball amount that doesn't come close to covering your damages.The insurer might try to make it seem like a good deal (or the best you can get), but with a lawyer on your side, you'll know better. A motorcycle accident lawyer will know how to deal with the insurance company.They'll work to negotiate a settlement amount that is actually fair to you based on your damages. If they are successful, you'll get paid.Representing You in CourtMost motorcycle accident cases end in a settlement, especially if the injured motorcyclist hires an experienced lawyer. However, in some cases, the insurance company won't agree to a settlement that is good enough.If that happens, your lawyer might advise filing a lawsuit. Your lawyer will represent you from each step of the lawsuit process. Before going all the way to trial, they will work to negotiate a settlement along the way.Settlements are often reached at this point, but if you need to go all the way to trial, your lawyer will be there to fight for your rights.Get a Free Consultation with a Motorcycle Accident LawyerA motorcycle accident lawyer can make all the difference in your recovery after your accident. At SX Lawyers, it's risk-free to work with us because we don't take a fee unless we win you money and plus the consultation is always FREE.
