Tips to Improve Your Motorcycle Crash Claim

Immediately following a motorcycle accident, it is important that you take the necessary steps to protect your claim. Here are some tips on what you should do after a motorcycle accident so you can improve your chances of obtaining a fair recovery.

Obtain Evidence

  • You will need photos of the accident, the scene, and your bike
  • Get insurance information from the other motorist and contact information from witnesses
  • Get a copy of the accident/police report

Follow your doctors orders

  • Don't miss doctor's appointments and follow your doctor's treatment. Too many people either fail to seek treatment or discontinue treatment, which can hurt your claim.

  • Lost income, including wages that you lost because you had to miss work.
  • Lost earning capacity for people who are unable to work again because of their injuries, or people who are not able to earn the same income as before.
  • Pain and suffering, including for mental anguish, loss of enjoyment of life, and other emotional damages
  • Out-of-pocket costs, such as reimbursement for your bike, transportation costs, etc.

Overcoming Challenges in Your Claim

Victims who were injured while riding their motorcycles will often face numerous challenges and obstacles when filing a claim.

For one, you may face difficulties reaching a fair agreement with insurance companies, who may try to underpay a claim or even blame you for the accident. Insurers will never hesitate to point out if a rider was not wearing a helmet so they can argue contributory negligence in order to limit or deny you compensation.

If your case ends up going to trial, you and your attorney will face a new set of obstacles with jury bias. Most jurors do not understand motorcycle riders nor do they have experience riding one.

They also tend to base their perceptions of motorcycle riders on negative stereotypes that portray riders as reckless individuals who knowingly accept the risks of riding a "dangerous vehicle."

While there are numerous factors working against motorcycle accident victims, these misconceptions can be challenged with the help of a skilled trial attorney. Our injury lawyers can help you aggressively prepare, investigate, and negotiate or litigate your claim.
